This gem dependes on the librdkafka C library. It is downloaded when this gem is installed.

To update the librdkafka version follow the following steps:

• Download the new version tar.gz from https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/
• Generate a sha256 with (if using MacOS) shasum -a 256 <file>
• Change the sha256 in lib/rdkafka/version.rb
• Change the version in lib/rdkafka/version.rb

Disclaimer

Currently the librdkafka project does not provide checksums of releases. The checksum provided here is generated on a best effort basis. If the CDN would be compromised at the time of download the checksum could be incorrect.

Do your own verification if you rely on this behaviour.

Once karafka#44 is implemented we will change this process.
