Re: .net and Kafka

[Mark Farnan <de...@petrolink.com>]

All, 

We are also working on a C# Client for Kafka,   targeting 0.8 only.  It is a port of the C++ one at this stage.   

Separate from the C# Client, we are also using AVRO internally for ser format and interested in anyone elses experience with this.  I note Microsoft have also been doing some work in this area:  


I anticipate releasing the client as OS when complete,  and would be interested in co-operating if anyone is interested. 

Regards

Mark Farnan. 
CTO - Petrolink International.
