Top 10 Kafka Features | Why Kafka Is So Popular<\/p><\/div>\n

What is Apache Kafka?<\/span><\/h2>\n

To handle a high volume of data and enables us to pass messages from one end-point to another, Apache Kafka is a distributed publish-subscribe messaging system<\/strong>. It is suitable for both offline and online message consumption. <\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, in order to prevent data loss, Kafka messages are persisted on the disk and replicated within the cluster. In addition, it is built on top of the ZooKeeper synchronization service. <\/span><\/p>\n

While it comes to real-time streaming data analysis, it can also integrate very well with Apache Storm and Spark<\/strong>. There are many more features of Apache Kafka. Let\u2019s discuss them in detail. <\/span><\/p>\n

Top 10 Apache Kafka Features<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here, is the list of most important Apache Kafka features:<\/span><\/p>\n

a. Scalability <\/span><\/h3>\n

Apache Kafka can handle scalability in all the four dimensions, i.e. event producers, event processors, event consumers and event connectors. In other words, Kafka scales easily without downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n

b. High-Volume <\/span><\/h3>\n

Kafka can work with the huge volume of data streams, easily.<\/span><\/p>\n

c. Data Transformations<\/span><\/h3>\n

Kafka offers provision for deriving new data streams using the data streams from producers.<\/span><\/p>\n

d. Fault Tolerance <\/span><\/h3>\n

The Kafka cluster can handle failures with the masters and databases.<\/span><\/p>\n

e. Reliability <\/span><\/h3>\n

Since Kafka is distributed, partitioned, replicated and fault tolerant, it is very Reliable.<\/span><\/p>\n

f. Durability<\/span><\/h3>\n

It is durable because Kafka uses Distributed commit log, that means messages persists on disk as fast as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

g. Performance<\/span><\/h3>\n

For both publishing and subscribing messages, Kafka has high throughput. Even if many TB of messages is stored, it maintains stable performance<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

h. Zero Downtime<\/span><\/h3>\n

Kafka is very fast and guarantees zero downtime and zero data loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

i. Extensibility<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are as many ways by which applications can plug in and make use of \u00a0Kafka. In addition, offers ways by which to write new connectors as needed.<\/p>\n

j. Replication<\/span><\/h3>\n

By using ingest pipelines, it can replicate the events.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, this was all about Apache Kafka Features. Hope you like our explanation.<\/p>\n

Conclusion – Kafka Features<\/span><\/h2>\n
