I wonder how Kafka would have felt about Apache Kafka preserving his namesake. What specifically about an event pipeline is kafkaesque?
- geodel 6y agoMay be event processing is stuck for hours/days with single log message "Processing Event..." with no further details :-)
- jessaustin 6y ago"No other event could have been processed here, since this queue was created only for you. Now it will be closed."
- icandoit 6y agoI feel like it's origins in LinkedIn, the performances people are expected to put in there, and the fact that it runs on a virtual machine, often on a cloud machine make the irony too great to be believable.
- brandtg 6y agoKafka famously left several novels unfinished... like the log, man... Just keeps going
- dangets 6y agoSnippet from "Kafka: The Definitive Guide" People often ask how Kafka got its name and if it signifies anything specific about the application itself. Jay Kreps offered the following insight: I thought that since Kafka was a system optimized for writing, using a writer’s name would make sense. I had taken a lot of lit classes in college and liked Franz Kafka. Plus the name sounded cool for an open source project. So basically there is not much of a relationship.
- FeelTheBerns 6y agoNice. A real answer. Always surprising whats gets dug up on hackernews.
