Based on this issue and some internal projects, I implemented a
pause/resume
consuming mechanism.Before implementation, I researched segmentio/kafka-go issues for this functionality. I came across this issue. achille-roussel answer is really clear. If I stop calling
FetchMessage,
the consumer pauses. If I invokeFetchMessage,
it resumes. Consumer group is still Stable because when I calledkafka.NewConsumer
, segmentio creates a goroutine and starts heartbeat to the broker under the hood!First, I defined two methods,
Resume
andPause
on the Consumer interface. So our clients can invoke this easily. You can refer to examples/with-pause-resume-consumer/main.go. It basicallyI also added related documentation within the example.
