Struct KafkaMockBroker 

pub struct KafkaMockBroker {
    pub topics: Arc<RwLock<HashMap<String, Topic>>>,
    pub consumer_groups: Arc<RwLock<ConsumerGroupManager>>,
    /* private fields */
}

Mock Kafka broker implementation

The KafkaMockBroker simulates a complete Apache Kafka broker, handling TCP connections and responding to Kafka protocol requests. It supports multiple concurrent connections and provides comprehensive metrics collection.

Architecture

The broker maintains several key components:

• Topics: Managed topic and partition storage
• Consumer Groups: Consumer group coordination and partition assignment
• Spec Registry: Fixture-based request/response handling
• Metrics: Real-time performance and usage statistics

Supported Operations

• Produce: Message production with acknowledgments
• Fetch: Message consumption with offset tracking
• Metadata: Topic and broker discovery
• ListGroups/DescribeGroups: Consumer group management
• ApiVersions: Protocol version negotiation
• CreateTopics/DeleteTopics: Dynamic topic management
• DescribeConfigs: Configuration retrieval

Example

use mockforge_kafka::KafkaMockBroker;
use mockforge_core::config::KafkaConfig;

let config = KafkaConfig {
    port: 9092,
    ..Default::default()
};

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

Fields

topics: Arc<RwLock<HashMap<String, Topic>>>

Topic storage with thread-safe access

consumer_groups: Arc<RwLock<ConsumerGroupManager>>

Consumer group manager

Implementations

impl KafkaMockBroker

pub async fn new(config: KafkaConfig) -> Result<Self>

Create a new Kafka mock broker

Initializes the broker with the provided configuration, setting up internal data structures for topics, consumer groups, and metrics.

Arguments

• config - Kafka broker configuration including port, timeouts, and fixture paths

Returns

Returns a Result containing the initialized broker or an error if initialization fails.

Example

use mockforge_kafka::KafkaMockBroker;
use mockforge_core::config::KafkaConfig;

let config = KafkaConfig::default();
let broker = KafkaMockBroker::new(config).await?;

pub async fn start(&self) -> Result<()>

Start the Kafka broker server

Binds to the configured host and port, then begins accepting TCP connections. Each connection is handled in a separate async task, allowing concurrent client connections.

The broker will run indefinitely until the task is cancelled or an error occurs.

Returns

Returns a Result that indicates whether the broker started successfully. The method only returns on error, as it runs an infinite accept loop.

Example

use mockforge_kafka::KafkaMockBroker;
use mockforge_core::config::KafkaConfig;

let config = KafkaConfig::default();
let broker = KafkaMockBroker::new(config).await?;

// Start the broker (this will run indefinitely)
broker.start().await?;
