Struct rdkafka::client::Client

pub struct Client<C: ClientContext = DefaultClientContext> { /* private fields */ }

A low-level rdkafka client.

This type is the basis of the consumers and producers in the consumer and producer modules, respectively.

Typically you do not want to construct a Client directly, but instead construct a consumer or producer. A Client can be used, however, when only access to cluster metadata and watermarks is required.

Implementations

impl<C: ClientContext> Client<C>

pub fn new(
    config: &ClientConfig,
    native_config: NativeClientConfig,
    rd_kafka_type: RDKafkaType,
    context: C
) -> KafkaResult<Client<C>>

Creates a new Client given a configuration, a client type and a context.

pub fn native_client(&self) -> &NativeClient

Returns a reference to the native rdkafka-sys client.

pub fn native_ptr(&self) -> *mut RDKafka

Returns a pointer to the native rdkafka-sys client.

pub fn context(&self) -> &Arc<C>

Returns a reference to the context.

pub fn fetch_metadata<T: Into<Timeout>>(
    &self,
    topic: Option<&str>,
    timeout: T
) -> KafkaResult<Metadata>

Returns the metadata information for the specified topic, or for all topics in the cluster if no topic is specified.

pub fn fetch_watermarks<T: Into<Timeout>>(
    &self,
    topic: &str,
    partition: i32,
    timeout: T
) -> KafkaResult<(i64, i64)>

Returns high and low watermark for the specified topic and partition.

pub fn fetch_group_list<T: Into<Timeout>>(
    &self,
    group: Option<&str>,
    timeout: T
) -> KafkaResult<GroupList>

Returns the group membership information for the given group. If no group is specified, all groups will be returned.

pub fn fatal_error(&self) -> Option<(RDKafkaErrorCode, String)>

Returns the first fatal error set on this client instance, or None if no fatal error has occurred.

This function is intended to be used with idempotent producers, where some errors must logically be considered fatal to retain consistency.
