Does any one have an example for a Long running Reactive Kafka Consumer ? The SampleConsumer in https://github.com/reactor/reactor-kafka.git quits after subscription which is expected.But I have a requirement to continuously receive messages from our Topics, and to which I should reconnect in the event of failures(especially connectivity issues).
I did go through https://github.com/CollaborationInEncapsulation/s1p-reactor-netty-kafka-twitter.git as a help to come up with an example but was not very successful.Help appreciated
It was an easy fix to convert SampleConsumer to a LongRunningSampleConsumer.The change was to add a blockLast to block indefinitely.I know that blocking is not the most optimal way to achieve what I am aiming to do and I'm open to alternate solutions.
The current code is in my git below.
