Wonder if you'll regret your vote when we find ourselves headed more than ever towards a true fascist dictatorship.

Assuming you're arguing in good faith, here is the transcript from someone who was in the room with Trump when he was saying all of this:

> He's looking for obedience. This is the thing that shocks him about American generals and continues to shock him, is that they swear an oath to the Constitution, not to the president. That's what he's looking for, personal loyalty. And we know that from many other discussions we have heard around him.

just curious if you think that the rhetoric from trump and his followers is not only hurtful, but also incredibly violent.

like how he said he wishes he had Hitler's generals so he could just have democrats or others who disagree with him executed

Agreed. I'm also a bit frustrated that he never tuned vertica in his test of it - he just loaded the data into the default superprojection and queried it like that. Nearly all of vertica's power comes from its concept of projections - just like normal DBs benefit from indexes. I'd really like to see how it performs to these other systems once it's been tuned properly because in my experience it's always been the fastest DB I've ever worked with.

Of course, the key to any successful implementation of end-to-end exactly-once processing lies in the fact that you USE the kstreams APIs - including all semantics around "consumption is completed up to offset X"

Absolutely, we used store-and-forward semantics when I used Kafka at a previous company to guarantee zero message loss (for data getting into kafka). Now that kafka streams provides exactly once semantics, you're in an even better spot to achieve this.

Genuine question - Why does everyone seem to think running a zookeeper cluster is so hard? You can run it on three small VMs and basically forget about it. We didn't have any zookeeper experience at my last startup before we started using it for Kafka and we used a very simple puppet module to install it on three instances in each of our AWS regions. It really never gave us many problems in the several years since.

Also, all the tooling around it is quite mature - there are great monitoring and management tools for probing at the internals which helped when we were dealing with more exotic kafka surgery.

re: client support - I dunno, this seems like a pretty comprehensive list to me? I mean, there's even a rust client: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Clients

Hmm. I don't see that at all. Aurora is a way to query data in S3. This is a way to query Kafka streams in real time.
