Just FYI: last week I've been reading through Kafka docs and working on Kafka client redesign which should facilitate the change. Docs are sometimes unclear and I can't give any...

It turns out new consumer groups in Kafka require smart, very smart clients. Creating and maintaining such a client on a protocol level requires much more time than I have....

Yes, `flush()` is missing, while `poll()` is only implemented for consumer. I don't really have time to add this functionality at the moment, but you can try to do something...

Sounds great, thank you! Binary dependencies are built separately in [RDKakfa.jl.deps](https://github.com/dfdx/RDKafka.jl.deps). To update the version, we need to change the [URL and hash](https://github.com/dfdx/RDKafka.jl.deps/blob/master/build_tarballs.jl#L10-L11) to point to the [new librdkafka home](https://github.com/confluentinc/librdkafka/releases)....

Oh, ah... We're playing archaeologists here. RDKafka.jl.deps was supposed to work on Travis CI, but it stopped free support of open-source projects years ago, and the Julia community moved to...

Oops, I misled you. After reading docs of BinaryBuilder and refreshing my memories I realized that RDKafka.jl.deps is not needed anymore and binary artifacts are now published in [JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil](https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil). It...

Yes, absolutely. Right now I'm adding a Dockerfile that installs Julia, installs and starts Kafka in the background, creates a topic "quickstart-events" and puts a few strings into it. If...

(You can of course create other topics, write and read from them in the tests. Kafka broken will be available at localhost:9092)

I've updated CI/CD and added a [sample test](https://github.com/dfdx/RDKafka.jl/blob/main/test/test_consumer.jl). To test your changes, you can: 1. Make a PR to this repository, and CI/CD will run automatically. 2. Run Kafka and...

Oops, I lost one commit while renaming the default branch 😨 Fixed it in `main`, please pull and try again.
