Use List Comprehensions List comprehensions are concise and often faster than regular for-loops. Example: squares = [x**2 for x in range(10)] instead of creating an empty list and appending each square value. 3. Take Advantage of Python’s Built-in Libraries  Libraries like itertools, collections, math, and datetime provide powerful functions and data structures that can simplify your code.   For example, collections.Counter can quickly count elements in a list, and itertools.chain can flatten nested lists. 4. Use enumerate Instead of Range     When you need both the index ...

A message, also called a record, is the basic piece of data flowing through Kafka. Messages are how Kafka represents your data. Kafka producer Vs. consumer messages Kafka is an intermediate server that receives a message from a producer and sends them to the consumer. Here is a set of 10 Kafka Interview Questions. Kafka message format Each message has a timestamp, a value, and an optional key. Custom headers can be used if desired as well.  A simple example of a message could be something like the following: the machine with host ID “1234567” (a message key) failed with the message “Alert: Machine Failed” (a message value) at “2020-10-02T10:34:11.654Z” (a message timestamp). Here is Kafka's flowchart for dummies. Kafka record The above image shows probably the most important and common parts of a message that users deal with directly. Each key and value can interact in its own specific ways to serialize or deserialize its data. Now that we have a record, how do we let Kafka know ab...
