+
+## 定义
+
+`kafka-logger` 是一个插件，可用作ngx_lua nginx模块的Kafka客户端驱动程序。
+
+这将提供将Log数据请求作为JSON对象发送到外部Kafka集群的功能。
+
+## 属性列表
+
+|属性名称          |必选项  |描述|
+|---------     |--------|-----------|
+| broker_list |必要的| 一系列的Kafka经纪人。|
+| kafka_topic |必要的| 定位主题以推送数据。|
+| timeout |可选的|上游发送数据超时。|
+| async |可选的|布尔值，用于控制是否执行异步推送。|
+| key |必要的|消息的密钥。|
+| max_retry |可选的|没有重试次数。|
+
+## 信息
+
+异步与同步数据推送之间的区别。
+
+1. 同步模型
+
+    如果成功，则返回当前代理和分区的偏移量（** cdata：LL **）。
+    如果发生错误，则返回“ nil”，并带有描述错误的字符串。
+
+2. 在异步模型中
+
+    消息将首先写入缓冲区。
+    当缓冲区超过`batch_num`时，它将发送到kafka服务器，
+    或每个`flush_time`刷新缓冲区。
+
+    如果成功，则返回“ true”。
+    如果出现错误，则返回“ nil”，并带有描述错误的字符串（“缓冲区溢出”）。
+
+##### 样本经纪人名单
+
+此插件支持一次推送到多个经纪人。如以下示例所示，指定外部kafka服务器的代理，以使此功能生效。
+
+```json
+{
+    "127.0.0.1":9092,
+    "127.0.0.1":9093
+}
+```
+
+## 如何开启
+
+1. 这是有关如何为特定路由启用kafka-logger插件的示例。
+
+```shell
+curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/consumers -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
+{
+    "username": "foo",
+    "plugins": {
+       "kafka-logger": {
+           "broker_list" :
+             {
+               "127.0.0.1":9092
+             },
+           "kafka_topic" : "test2",
+           "key" : "key1"
+       }
+    },
+    "upstream": {
+       "nodes": {
+           "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
+       },
+       "type": "roundrobin"
+    },
+    "uri": "/hello"
+}'
+```
+
+## 测试插件
+
+* 成功:
+
+```shell
+$ curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9080/hello
+HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+...
+hello, world
+```
+
+## 禁用插件
+
+当您要禁用`kafka-logger`插件时，这很简单，您可以在插件配置中删除相应的json配置，无需重新启动服务，它将立即生效：
+
+```shell
+$ curl http://127.0.0.1:2379/apisix/admin/routes/1 -X PUT -d value='
+{
+    "methods": ["GET"],
+    "uri": "/hello",
+    "plugins": {},
+    "upstream": {
+        "type": "roundrobin",
+        "nodes": {
+            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
+        }
+    }
+}'
+```

+
+## Name
+
+`kafka-logger` is a plugin which works as a Kafka client driver for the ngx_lua nginx module.
+
+This will provide the ability to send Log data requests as JSON objects to external Kafka clusters.
+
+## Attributes
+
+|Name          |Requirement  |Description|
+|---------     |--------|-----------|
+| broker_list |required| An array of Kafka brokers.|
+| kafka_topic |required| Target topic to push data.|
+| timeout |optional|Timeout for the upstream to send data.|
+| async |optional|Boolean value to control whether to perform async push.|
+| key |required|Key for the message.|
+| max_retry |optional|No of retries|
+
+## Info
+
+Difference between async and the sync data push.
+
+1. In sync model
+
+    In case of success, returns the offset (** cdata: LL **) of the current broker and partition.
+    In case of errors, returns `nil` with a string describing the error.
+
+2. In async model
+
+    The `message` will write to the buffer first.
+    It will send to the kafka server when the buffer exceed the `batch_num`,
+    or every `flush_time` flush the buffer.
+
+    In case of success, returns `true`.
+    In case of errors, returns `nil` with a string describing the error (`buffer overflow`).
+
+##### Sample broker list
+
+This plugin supports to push in to more than one broker at a time. Specify the brokers of the external kafka servers as below
+sample to take effect of this functionality.
+
+```json
+{
+    "127.0.0.1":9092,
+    "127.0.0.1":9093
+}
+```
+
+## How To Enable
+
+1. Here is an examle on how to enable kafka-logger plugin for a specific route.
+
+```shell
+curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/consumers -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
+{
+    "username": "foo",
+    "plugins": {
+       "kafka-logger": {
+           "broker_list" :
+             {
+               "127.0.0.1":9092
+             },
+           "kafka_topic" : "test2",
+           "key" : "key1"
+       }
+    },
+    "upstream": {
+       "nodes": {
+           "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
+       },
+       "type": "roundrobin"
+    },
+    "uri": "/hello"
+}'
+```
+
+## Test Plugin
+
+* success:
+
+```shell
+$ curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9080/hello
+HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+...
+hello, world
+```
+
+## Disable Plugin
+
+When you want to disable the `kafka-logger` plugin, it is very simple,
+ you can delete the corresponding json configuration in the plugin configuration,
+  no need to restart the service, it will take effect immediately:
+
+```shell
+$ curl http://127.0.0.1:2379/apisix/admin/routes/1 -X PUT -d value='
+{
+    "methods": ["GET"],
+    "uri": "/hello",
+    "plugins": {},
+    "upstream": {
+        "type": "roundrobin",
+        "nodes": {
+            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
+        }
+    }
+}'
+```
