Kafka implemented in #golang with built-in coordination (No ZK dep, single binary install)

20. September 2017

Implement Kafka in Go
Protocol compatible with Kafka so Kafka clients and services work with Jocko
Make operating simpler
Distribute a single binary
Use Serf for discovery, Raft for consensus (and remove the need to run ZooKeeper)
Smarter configuration settings
- Able to use percentages of disk space for retention policies rather than only bytes and time kept
- Handling size configs when you change the number of partitions or add topics
