I use kafkacat in replicated containers, where a useful key is for example the machine that the particular container runs on, which I can get from environment variables. It makes more sense to set this key value at command invocation, than sed ing the piped data.

I remember nothing of the C we wrote in school, but I gave this a shot. If you like the idea but - as is likely - not the implementaton or the choice of flag, I'm happy to see a rewrite.

I've built this as solsson/kafkacat-fixedkey and tested it briefly for my usecases, including those with per-message keys from stdin.

Overall looks good.
Cache the key_len on conf and change arg to -k

I think -k would be more intuitive

Agreed. Funny I didn't think of that alternative.

Addresses #88 (comment).

I deemed it safe to assume that operational daemonset pods never co-exist on a node.

Tests edenhill/kcat#123,
as does 53f355a.

I've been running the build from after my review fixes, and see no regressions.
