Building Producer and Consumer Clients in go Language for Oracle Event Hub Cloud Service

CREATE AN OEH CLUSTER

Documentation here or watch following video:

When the cluster is created, go to details page and grab the connection url, which has the  format <broker1_ip>:6667,…,<brokern_ip>:6667

CREATE A TOPIC

INSTALL THE LIB

I’ve done the following (Mac):

git clone https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka.git
cd librdkafka
./configure --prefix /usr/local
make
sudo make install (sudo make uninstall in case you want to remove the lib)

brew install librdkafka

BUILD OR GRAB A SAMPLE CLIENT

I’ve downloaded this consumer and this producer samples. Create producer.go and consumer.go files and put the sample code in each file.

go build producer.go

go build consumer.go

Test your clients:

./producer <broker1_ip>:6667,...,<brokern_ip>:6667 sample

./consumer <broker1_ip>:6667,...,<brokern_ip>:6667 consumer_example sample

That’s all folks!

🙂 Enjoy
