Is there any retry mechanism in kafka-net dll while message sending failure?

[ms0713]

@edenhill , @Jroland
I have used kafka-net to send messages on Kafka-Topic. I am running producer on Windows Server 2012 R2 OS machine and Consumer on Cent OS machine.

While sending messages on kafka, some messages are being dropped even though it is not sending messages continuously. After checking log files of Kafka Topic, it did not written those dropped messages in its logs.

How can I ensure that my message has been sent to Kafka-Topic successfully?

If sending message on Kafka get failed, then how to resend the same message again?

What client are you using? CSharpClient-for-Kafka is deprecated in favour of confluent-kafka-dotnet, if you're using confluent-kafka-dotnet please file an issue here (and fill out the checklist):
https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-dotnet/issues/new

I am currently using kafka-net.dll.
Version 0.9.0.65.

Which dll should I use ?
I get this nuget package from here:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/kafka-net/0.9.0.65

Then you should file an issue for that project here: https://github.com/Jroland/kafka-net

It does look like the project has been abandoned though, so you might want to look into confluent-kafka-dotnet instead which is actively maintained.

Thanks @edenhill .

I actually filed this issue to you and Jroland because author of kafka-net is Jroland and what I want is answered by you through various posts.

If I use confluent-kafka-dotnet, am I able to resend message that got failed for the first time?

Is confluent-kafka-dotnet being used in production environments?

If you have demonstrated the same via some code then send me that link, it will be a great help for me.

Thanks.
