## Quick Start

### Basic Kafka Broker

```rust,no_run
use mockforge_kafka::KafkaMockBroker;
use mockforge_core::config::KafkaConfig;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create broker configuration
    let config = KafkaConfig {
        host: "127.0.0.1".to_string(),
        port: 9092,
        ..Default::default()
    };

    // Initialize and start broker
    let broker = KafkaMockBroker::new(config).await?;
    broker.start().await?;

    Ok(())
}
```

### Testing with Kafka Clients

```rust,no_run
use rdkafka::config::ClientConfig;
use rdkafka::producer::{FutureProducer, FutureRecord};
use std::time::Duration;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Connect to MockForge Kafka broker
    let producer: FutureProducer = ClientConfig::new()
        .set("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092")
        .set("message.timeout.ms", "5000")
        .create()?;

    // Produce a message
    let delivery_status = producer
        .send(
            FutureRecord::to("test-topic")
                .payload("Hello from MockForge!")
                .key("test-key"),
            Duration::from_secs(0),
        )
        .await;

    match delivery_status {
        Ok((partition, offset)) => {
            println!("Message delivered to partition {} at offset {}", partition, offset);
        }
        Err((e, _)) => println!("Failed to deliver message: {}", e),
    }

    Ok(())
}
```

## Core Components

### KafkaMockBroker

The main broker implementation that handles all Kafka protocol operations:

```rust,no_run
use mockforge_kafka::KafkaMockBroker;
use mockforge_core::config::KafkaConfig;

let config = KafkaConfig {
    host: "0.0.0.0".to_string(),
    port: 9092,
    auto_create_topics: true,
    default_partitions: 3,
    ..Default::default()
};

let broker = KafkaMockBroker::new(config).await?;
broker.start().await?;
```

### Topic Management

Create and manage Kafka topics dynamically:

```rust,no_run
use mockforge_kafka::topics::{Topic, TopicConfig};

// Create a topic with specific configuration
let topic_config = TopicConfig {
    name: "user-events".to_string(),
    partitions: 3,
    replication_factor: 1,
    retention_ms: Some(604800000), // 7 days
};

let topic = Topic::new(topic_config);

// Topics are automatically created when first accessed
// or can be pre-created through the broker API
```

### Message Production

Handle produce requests with full protocol compliance:

```rust,no_run
use mockforge_kafka::partitions::KafkaMessage;

// Create messages for production
let messages = vec![
    KafkaMessage {
        key: Some(b"user-123".to_vec()),
        value: b"{\"action\": \"login\", \"user_id\": 123}".to_vec(),
        timestamp: Some(chrono::Utc::now().timestamp_millis()),
        headers: None,
    },
    KafkaMessage {
        key: Some(b"user-456".to_vec()),
        value: b"{\"action\": \"logout\", \"user_id\": 456}".to_vec(),
        timestamp: Some(chrono::Utc::now().timestamp_millis()),
        headers: None,
    },
];

// Messages are automatically routed to appropriate partitions
// based on key hashing (if key provided) or round-robin
```

### Consumer Groups

Simulate consumer group behavior and coordination:

```rust,no_run
use mockforge_kafka::consumer_groups::{ConsumerGroup, ConsumerGroupManager};

// Create consumer group manager
let group_manager = ConsumerGroupManager::new();

// Consumer groups are automatically managed when consumers join
// Partition assignment follows Kafka's standard algorithms
let group = ConsumerGroup::new(
    "my-consumer-group".to_string(),
    vec!["consumer-1".to_string(), "consumer-2".to_string()],
);

// Group handles partition rebalancing when members join/leave
```

## Fixture System

Define message templates and auto-production rules using YAML:

```yaml
# kafka-fixture.yaml
topics:
  - name: "user-events"
    partitions: 3
    config:
      retention.ms: "604800000"  # 7 days

  - name: "order-events"
    partitions: 2

fixtures:
  - topic: "user-events"
    key_template: "{{uuid}}"
    value_template: |
      {
        "user_id": "{{uuid}}",
        "action": "{{random_element 'login' 'logout' 'signup' 'update_profile'}}",
        "timestamp": "{{now}}",
        "metadata": {
          "source": "web",
          "version": "1.0"
        }
      }
    headers:
      content-type: "application/json"

auto_produce:
  - topic: "user-events"
    rate_per_second: 5
    duration_seconds: 300  # 5 minutes
    key_template: "{{uuid}}"
    value_template: |
      {
        "event_type": "heartbeat",
        "service": "user-service",
        "timestamp": "{{now}}"
      }

  - topic: "order-events"
    rate_per_second: 2
    duration_seconds: 600  # 10 minutes
    key_template: "order-{{sequence}}"
    value_template: |
      {
        "order_id": "{{sequence}}",
        "user_id": "{{uuid}}",
        "amount": {{float_range 10.0 1000.0}},
        "items": {{int_range 1 10}},
        "status": "created",
        "created_at": "{{now}}"
      }
```

### Loading Fixtures

```rust,no_run
use mockforge_kafka::{KafkaMockBroker, KafkaSpecRegistry};

// Create broker with fixture support
let spec_registry = KafkaSpecRegistry::new();
let broker = KafkaMockBroker::with_registry(config, spec_registry).await?;

// Load fixtures from file
broker.load_fixtures_from_file("kafka-fixture.yaml").await?;

// Or create fixtures programmatically
use mockforge_kafka::fixtures::{KafkaFixture, AutoProduceConfig};

let fixture = KafkaFixture {
    topics: vec![/* ... */],
    fixtures: vec![/* ... */],
    auto_produce: vec![/* ... */],
};

broker.add_fixture(fixture).await?;
```

## Supported Kafka APIs

MockForge Kafka implements the following Kafka protocol APIs:

- **Produce (API 0)**: Message production with acknowledgments
- **Fetch (API 1)**: Message consumption with offset management
- **Metadata (API 3)**: Topic and broker metadata discovery
- **ListGroups (API 9)**: Consumer group listing
- **DescribeGroups (API 15)**: Consumer group details and member information
- **ApiVersions (API 18)**: Protocol version negotiation

```rust,no_run
use mockforge_kafka::metrics::MetricsExporter;

// Create metrics exporter
let exporter = MetricsExporter::new();

// Export current metrics
let metrics = exporter.export_prometheus().await?;
println!("{}", metrics);

// Sample metrics:

## Testing Examples

### Producer Testing

```rust,no_run
use rdkafka::config::ClientConfig;
use rdkafka::producer::{FutureProducer, FutureRecord};
use std::time::Duration;

#[tokio::test]
async fn test_kafka_producer() {
    // Start MockForge Kafka broker in background
    let broker = KafkaMockBroker::new(KafkaConfig::default()).await.unwrap();
    tokio::spawn(async move { broker.start().await.unwrap() });

    // Give broker time to start
    tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_millis(100)).await;

    // Test producer
    let producer: FutureProducer = ClientConfig::new()
        .set("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092")
        .set("message.timeout.ms", "5000")
        .create()
        .unwrap();

    // Send test message
    let result = producer
        .send(
            FutureRecord::to("test-topic")
                .payload("test message")
                .key("test-key"),
            Duration::from_secs(5),
        )
        .await;

    assert!(result.is_ok());
    let (partition, offset) = result.unwrap();
    assert!(partition >= 0);
    assert!(offset >= 0);
}
```

### Consumer Testing

```rust,no_run
use rdkafka::config::ClientConfig;
use rdkafka::consumer::{Consumer, StreamConsumer};
use rdkafka::Message;
use futures::StreamExt;

#[tokio::test]
async fn test_kafka_consumer() {
    // Start broker and produce test messages
    // ... setup code ...

    // Create consumer
    let consumer: StreamConsumer = ClientConfig::new()
        .set("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092")
        .set("group.id", "test-group")
        .set("auto.offset.reset", "earliest")
        .create()
        .unwrap();

    consumer.subscribe(&["test-topic"]).unwrap();

    // Consume messages
    let mut message_stream = consumer.stream();
    let message = message_stream.next().await.unwrap().unwrap();

    let payload = message.payload().unwrap();
    assert_eq!(std::str::from_utf8(payload).unwrap(), "test message");
}
```

### Consumer Group Testing

```rust,no_run
use rdkafka::config::ClientConfig;
use rdkafka::consumer::{Consumer, StreamConsumer};

#[tokio::test]
async fn test_consumer_groups() {
    // Start broker
    // ... setup code ...

    // Create multiple consumers in same group
    let mut consumers = vec![];

    for i in 0..3 {
        let consumer: StreamConsumer = ClientConfig::new()
            .set("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092")
            .set("group.id", "test-group")
            .set("client.id", &format!("consumer-{}", i))
            .create()
            .unwrap();

        consumer.subscribe(&["test-topic"]).unwrap();
        consumers.push(consumer);
    }

    // Verify partition assignment
    // Consumers should automatically balance partitions
    for consumer in consumers {
        let assignment = consumer.assignment().unwrap();
        assert!(!assignment.is_empty());
    }
}
```

## Performance

MockForge Kafka is optimized for testing scenarios:

- **In-Memory Storage**: Fast message operations without disk persistence
- **Concurrent Connections**: Handle multiple simultaneous Kafka clients
- **Low Latency**: Minimal overhead for message operations
- **Scalable**: Support for high-throughput testing scenarios
- **Resource Efficient**: Configurable memory limits and cleanup

## Integration with MockForge

MockForge Kafka integrates seamlessly with the MockForge ecosystem:

- **MockForge Core**: Shared configuration and logging
- **MockForge CLI**: Command-line Kafka broker management
- **MockForge Data**: Enhanced message generation with templates
- **MockForge Observability**: Metrics and tracing integration

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Connection refused:**
- Ensure broker is started and listening on correct port
- Check firewall settings and port availability
- Verify client configuration (bootstrap servers)

**Messages not consumed:**
- Check consumer group configuration
- Verify topic exists (auto-create may be disabled)
- Check offset reset policy (earliest/latest)

**High latency:**
- Adjust broker thread count for better concurrency
- Check system resources (CPU, memory)
- Review message size and batch settings

**Protocol errors:**
- Ensure client and broker use compatible Kafka versions
- Check message format and serialization
- Verify topic and partition configurations
