v1.5.1

v1.5.0

• Kafka integration.

Due to the architecture of Kafka there are some limitations:

• pls does not provide the amount of consumers (or consumer groups), since there is no metric to retrieve them reliable.
• pls does not provide the amount of unconsumed messages, this is against the concepts of kafka. Instead the amount of total messages is calculated and returned instead.
• pcat does provide a group parameter, so a specific consumer group can be used
• Due to the nature of kafka, a call to pcat can return on each call a different set of messages, depending which partitions are read.
• pcat uses manual sync, using -r will commit each message retrieved manually

The documentation will be updated soon
