Package: wnpp Owner: Brandon Bradley <bradleytas...@gmail.com> Severity: wishlist
* Package name : kafka Version : 0.8.2.1 * URL : http://www.example.org/ * License : Apache 2.0 Programming Lang: Java, Scala Description : Distributed, partitioned, replicated commit log service Apache Kafka is publish-subscribe messaging rethought as a distributed commit log. A single Kafka broker can handle hundreds of megabytes of reads and writes per second from thousands of clients. - why is this package useful/relevant? Many companies are using Apache Kafka for a number of different problems. See https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Powered+By - how do you plan to maintain it? inside a packaging team This will be my first package submission. Honestly, I'm hoping some companies will come out and contribute considering how many big players use it. I only plan to maintain this package for Debian Jessie and beyond (systemd) but willing to accept contribtuions that support SysV init. Wikimedia Foundation has a fairly through debian package with SysV init support. Cheers! Brandon Bradley
