#Kafka Clustermer a simple high level consumer running on multi nodes fetch kafka in the same topics.

#Why To Use

##Simply Consume The Same Topics On Multi Nodes If we want to use a high level consumer running on multi nodes, We need use stream cluster system like storm/spark streaming.

But sometimes we just want simply to consume the same topics on multi nodes, You can use Kafka Clustermer.

##Better High Level API Using kafka high level consumer, You can't control the offset's commit, And it fetch data then you consume data in different threads.

Using Kafka Clustermer, You can control the offset's commit, And it fetch data then you consume in the same thread.

##More Offset Storage Kafka high level consumer just support zookeeper and kafka offset storage, But Kafka Clustermer support zookeeper, redis, and more simple chronic-map.

##Support Storm KafkaSpout, it can consume multi topics than storm-kafka

#How To Use

eg:

topic:                  test1
number of partitions:   4
broker list:            172.16.1.100:9092,172.16.1.101:9092
consumer nodes:         172.16.1.102,172.16.1.103

##Static Coordinator Each process on multi nodes consume the different partitions within the same topics, And the different partitions are coordinated by config.

see StaticExample

##Dynamic Coordinator Each process on multi nodes consume the different partitions within the same topics, Each process is configured the total nodes and the index of the node.

Then then dynamic coordinator calculate the partitions in each process.
