Bro I literally went through entire documentation But this solved the consumer group concept in 5 mins 🙌

[@k.l7111]

The explanation of consumer group to achieve queue and pubsub is gold. Thank you.

Wonderdul info Video about Kafka n its components Thanks Hussein

[@amospan14]

8:05 Absolutely love that Jordan Peterson reference about how life is suffering. That was awesome! And likely Jordan would add, the antidote to that is voluntarily confronting our own suffering will begin to cure it. Thank you for this Kafka educational video! I very much appreciate your teaching style! =)

Thank you SemSem

[@sbylk99]

I have a question "Can the number of partitions changed during execution?" I did some research and share the answer here: 1. Number of partitions can be increased, but can not reduced. 2. When increasing number of partitions, Kafka servers are kept running. No code shut down time. 3. Rebalancing traffic is handled by Kafka, producer will send messages by the new partition and consumer will consume messages from new partitions too. Client does not need to handle the rebalancing.

[@brightstar1927]

Awesome explanation !

[@KrishnaJaju24]

Best starter video on Apache Kafka. One question: How is the order of message arrival maintained in different partitions?

[@ParthShah1504]

"Kafka guarantees that messages from a single partition are delivered to a consumer in order. However, there is no guarantee on the ordering of messages coming from different partitions." - from the kafka's published paper

[@bhawanajohari]

Very well explained.

Excellent video, Was expecting nodejs Kafka demo tho 😕

[@hnasr]

Hey Dean! Watch the full kafka video for the code 🙏

[@ducthinh2412]

Just want to clarify: at 12:27, you said: "One partition'd better be consumed by 1 consumer" This only applies to consumers within the same consumer group, correct? Let's say we have: - 2 consumer groups G1 and G2. - G1 has consumer C1 and G2 has consumer C2 Can a partition P be consumed by both C1 and C2 since those consumers are from different consumer groups?

[@hnasr]

Thanks that is correct, I do mention this in the full kafka video maybe this part was cut during this highlight. Appreciate it

[@danielequattrocchi2090]

sorry for the question.. but it can be true that kafka seems to be the "facebook" of a distribuited system?

[@ChristianAltamiranoAyala]

One thing to keep in mind is that kafka hands "offset" which is a grest feature in case of kafka restarts

[@shiwang789]

at 8:05 why do subscriber need to know which partition it is publishing the message to? The broker can itself figure out based on the rule of partitioning. And due to some case if it is not possible then do I need to change all my publish requests if add a partitions to an existing topic? That is a very bad design i think.

[@hnasr]

I think they made this flexible by allowing the publishing decide which partition, otherwise how would they configure the broker to decide which partition? But i agree with you it has its cost

[@shiwang789]

@@hnasr For eg. in the case that you mentioned, (N-Z) goes to partition 2, so Nader will automatically go to partition 2. Am l missing something here?

[@AniketSomwanshi-ll7mz]

@@shiwang789 I agree the broker is absolutely capable of appending to the correct partition by looking at itself

lol Jordan Peterson has made it in the Kafka vid lol.

[@johnsailor3590]

I feel partitions and sharding are completely different things

[@tambolaking5383]

Where is Kafka used. In which cases is it used?

[@hnasr]

When a simple request/response system isn’t cutting it. If the cost of calculating response is high OR if the same response is required by multiple requester services. having a pub/sub system helps in those cases (kafka is just one example) I give some use cases in KZbin here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWKzmKSLpr9-iqM Thanks for being long time subscriber and asking great questions over the years Vrunda.

[@tambolaking5383]

@@hnasr I have built a game. It uses subscription provided by Firestore. game.cvfy.in - Will Kafka be useful in replacing Firestore? The game is if Bingo. So, random numbers between 1 and 90 are shown to players and they claim dividends. So, it's all players are on subscription to one document where updates happen.
