Hey! I had recently been trying the consuming messages extension in the Kafka challenge, and had almost given up due to the lack of proper and centralized documentation on the encoding format of the log files and their roles!
I feel the extension itself isn’t that difficult, but having no proper resource to refer to makes it so. To combat that, I decided to write a blog covering all that I learnt after countless hours of browsing documentation and reverse engineering the code-examples: Consuming Messages | BYO Kafka
Would highly appreciate if you could give it a read and provide me any feedback!
