View Source brod_client (brod v3.17.1)

A brod_client in brod is a gen_server responsible for establishing and maintaining tcp sockets connecting to kafka brokers. It also manages per-topic-partition producer and consumer processes under two-level supervision trees.

You can start clients automatically at application startup or on demand. See the overview for examples.

deregister_consumer(Client, Topic, Partition)

View Source
-spec deregister_consumer(client(), topic(), partition()) -> ok.

De-register the consumer for a partition.

The partition consumer entry is deleted from the ETS table to allow cleanup of purposefully %% stopped consumers and allow later restart.

View Source
-spec deregister_producer(client(), topic(), partition()) -> ok.

De-register the producer for a partition.

The partition producer entry is deleted from the ETS table to allow cleanup of purposefully stopped producers and allow later restart.
