DISCLAIMER

DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION!!! ALPHA VERSION

Dependencies (except ROS noetic):

sudo apt install librdkafka-dev

If you want to use zstd compression one needs to compile librdkafka from source (on ubuntu 20.04).

Very basic bridging from ros<->kafka. Basically two template headers based on the librdkafka tutorial. Allows to publish serialized rosmsg on kafka topic or to consume from kafka topic to publish on ros topic. Minimal examples can be found in the examples folder. Custom (de-)serialization/partitioning is possible by passing a functor to the constructor.
