PHP client for Kafka .8
We are upgrading to Kafka .8 and have discovered we have broken our
brethren developers over in the PHP world of our shop. Does anyone know if
there's an impending release of the PHP client for .8 before we go off and
try to build a rounder wheel (or create proxy via Java that they can submit
to instead)

Thanks guys.
Since we have some time constraints we are going with a Java based REST
endpoint within our already existing API to act as a proxy for the message.
Since it's a low volume of messages coming from our PHP side to kafka we
are willing to accept the additional overhead of doubling the network
communication that it'll produce, especially with it all being within the
same LAN.

Could use the c++ library https://github.com/adobe-research/libkafka and
create a PHP extension?

Neha, Thank you for the response. We saw that page, which is what
ultimately prompted me to send out the message to the group to see if
anyone might have started working on it, but wasn't ready to tell the
public yet. I will discuss with the team tomorrow during our scrum to see
what our course of action will be to get our PHP code communicating with .8
. If someone out there is already working on something we'd be interested
in collaborating.
Based on what our PHP guys have told me we apparently use the library
referenced, kafka-php, in a substancial number of places throughout the
codebase. So I'm going to venture a guess that we'll be looking for a
solution that would involve the least amount of changes to our code base
for whatever solution we implement. That could be recontributing to the
kafka-php project, a java based api proxy (which would actually be language
independent, but which would introduce an increase in network traffic since
it would act as a relay point... seems viable for our applications from
what I understand), or the team might think of a better solution.
