Kafka Consumer in C++

Question

I have been searching for C++ kafka consumer. I came across following which are for C++ kafka but there is no consumer.

https://github.com/adobe-research/libkafka (Only sample producer)

https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/tree/master/src-cpp

Does anyone have C++ kafka consumer based on the above work or any new way for C++ kafka consumer

librdkafka's examples/ directory contains a C++ consumer (and producer):

High-level balanced KafkaConsumer: https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/blob/master/examples/rdkafka_complex_consumer_example.cpp

Low-level legacy Consumer: https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/blob/master/examples/rdkafka_example.cpp#L395

I found kafka nuget package by you but it is pre-release. Can you please confirm me when its release is scheduled? – Awais Nov 22 '16 at 08:50
Working on it as we speak, there will be experimental (but hopefully working) packages within a couple of weeks. – Edenhill Nov 22 '16 at 17:57
That would be highly appreciated sir. :) – Awais Nov 23 '16 at 18:10

As a follow up on Edenhill's answer, you can try cppkafka, a high level C++11 wrapper for librdkafka. There's some examples in there for you to look at.

librdkafka for c++ programmers is hard to learn, e.g. do not know how to config topic name in example cpp file. Thanks for your help. – Dean Chen Jul 21 '18 at 12:40

If you want to use modern cpp, you can use this wrapper around librdkafka modern-cpp-kafka
