Hi,

Is it possible to add a bit more to installation instructions?

The plugin was not by default compatible with my engine (5.1) , so I compiled it using these steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC0gnfYzFzU

If I add the suggested lines to the Build.cs the build fails without any useful info.

After compiling and adding the plugin into the engine, it's visible from Plugins menu, if I enable it however, I get the error.

I expected it was failing to load a dll and that seems correct, from logs I find:

[2023.04.05-09.42.48:186][  0]LogWindows: Failed to preload 'G:/Unreal/UE_5.1/Engine/Plugins/EasyKafka/Binaries/Win64/UnrealEditor-KafkaConsumer.dll' (GetLastError=126)
[2023.04.05-09.42.48:186][  0]LogWindows:   Missing import: rdkafka.dll

[2023.04.05-09.42.48:186][  0]LogWindows:   Looked in: G:\MyMmoRpg\Binaries\Win64
......

searching the plugin, I can see it's present in: G:\Unreal\UE_5.1\Engine\Plugins\EasyKafka\Source\ThirdParty\KafkaLib\bin\Win64

This makes me think there's some steps missing from installation - could you advise ?

As a temporary fix, I am able to copy those dlls over to: G:\MyMmoRpg\Binaries\Win64 but this is more of a hack.
This allows me to enable the plugin and have the project load now (I will shortly test if it indeed actually works though)

however even with that, I am still not able to add:

        PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] 
        {
            "EasyKafka",
            "KafkaLib",
            "KafkaConsumer",
            "KafkaProducer"
        });

the above still does not compile

[update] even with the 'hack' above, following the suggested BP to publish kafka message leads to a crash:

(not clear if its configuration or misuse issue)

It crashes the build on Linux, Any solution for that ?
Thanks

Hi,

I like your work and may give it a try in my project.
I'm wondering if there is any performance benchmarking done? (latency, throughput, etc.)
Thanks!

In your function, the consumer's receiving function can only receive fstring type. What should I do if I want to get the original message with the same byte size as the original one?

I am developing a plugin which needs to send message to Kafka(as a producer), so I tried to include EasyKafka to complete the message sending part. However, I got some trouble when using #include "EasyKafka/Public/EasyKafkaSubsystem.h".

The editor consistantly report fatal error C1083 “EasyKafka/Public/EasyKafkaSubsystem.h”: No such file or directory.

According to the documentation, I have already add the modules in PrivateDependencyModuleNames

and also I tried to modify the .uplugin file and add the EasyKafka into plugin and addtional dependencies

If I made some basic mistake, please don't hesitate to tell me, since I am still a beginner in UE.

hi,
I use your UE plugin in my UE5.0.3 project by blueprint, but cannot get message after I registered the consumer .
And I found in blueprint node: CreateConsumer, the username and password are both null, is it right?

Hello, may I ask if I can write this part of C++
