Questions About Hiring a Senior Apache Kafka Streaming Engineer
What is the difference between Kafka and RabbitMQ?
RabbitMQ is a traditional message queue that deletes messages once acknowledged. Kafka is a distributed append-only immutable log supporting message replay and multiple independent consumer groups.
How do you guarantee strict message ordering in Kafka?
Kafka guarantees strict per-key ordering within individual topic partitions using deterministic hash partitioning.
