Re:Python Kafka Client Benchmarking on Friday June 17, 2016 @08:27AM (#11922198)
Pykafka does currently have support for 0.9 group management, and we intend to add support for message timestamps and the other new 0.10 features. We're not, however, detecting the broker version and turning on features on that basis. Instead we prefer to let the user explicitly enable the features they're interested in using.

Sounds like old news, but if this is still an issue, PyKafka does allow balanced reads across a consumer group. https://github.com/parsely/pykafka

PyKafka is currently used in production at Parse.ly, and I've gotten feedback from a lot of other folks who are using it in production as well. The big benefit over kafka-python is that PyKafka supports multi-consumer groups that balance consumption via ZooKeeper with its BalancedConsumer interface. See this thread ( https://github.com/Parsely/pykafka/issues/334 ) for more detail on the differences between the two libraries.

The PyKafka project is prioritizing support for Kafka 0.9 in the next few weeks/months. This includes ensuring that the existing consumers work against the updates to the 0.8.2 consumer API as well as implementing support for the new consumer API introduced in 0.9. Roadmap information can be found here ( https://github.com/Parsely/pykafka/blob/master/doc/roadmap.r... ).
