Comment on Apache Kafka 0.8.0 released

Comments

May I ask how Kafka compares with an AMQP solution such as RabbitMQ? Thank you.

It keeps all messages in a log(sorted) and each client has a position of where they are in the log. So they can restart some parts, or skip some. This makes it very fast.

And it has sharding, which no-other messagequeue has (i think).

RabbitMQ supports sharding via exchanges
