Am I the only one who expected an opinionated article about kafka (the streaming library) and its problems regarding write performance/durability?

I am not saying the library has this problems, just that the title of this article is perfect for that kind of article.

Wait, does the library have problems or not?

I don't know. I am waiting for another article with the same title ;).

Yes, you're the only one. When an article is about Kafka, it's about Kafka. When it's about the streaming library, it's going to be about Kafka the streaming library, and no need to pollute the comment thread with glib remarks about Kafka the streaming library when the article is about Kafka.

Aw, that's a bit harsh. It's true that all the Kafkas are welcome here in their own right.

I have been upvoted several times. I assume I am not the only one.
