Keith,

Have you put HTTP protocol in front of Kafka, or are you using Kafka¹s
native protocol?

Can you also expand a little on your performance requirements? What does
³high throughput² mean to you in terms of the messaging patterns (# of
producers and consumers, # of queues and queue partitions, message size,
desired throughput)?

Thanks,
Tomasz Janczuk
