Kafka Ada

This project offers Ada bindings for the C librdkafka library. You can use it to send and receive from a Kafka bus from Ada. Currently work in progress, it does not offer all functionalities of librdkafka yet. If what you are looking for is simply producing data onto a kafka bus or consuming data, this library likely already supports the features you need.

Supported functionalities:

• Basic error handling
• Kafka handle creation and destruction
• Topic handling
• Message handling
• Basic producer functionalities
• Basic consumer functionalities
• Kafka configuration
• Topic configuration

Not yet supported:

• Retrieving debug contexts
• Advanced error handling (Description, fatal errors, retriable errors etc.)
• Partition handling
• Message headers
• Message status
• Event sourcing and event handling
• Callbacks
• Broker handling
• Broker metadata
• Queue consumer
• Batch consumer
• Atomic assignment of partitions
• Kafka logging
• Topic creation and deletion and other admin operations
• Various other advanced functionalities offered by librdkafka

If you need some of those not supported features, feel free to open a pull request.

Building and installing from source

To install this library on your system, run the following command:
