How do I handle errors in Kafka with Python?

You can handle errors in Kafka with Python by using try-except blocks and implementing error handling strategies like retries.

What types of errors should I be aware of?

Common errors include serialization errors, connection issues, and message delivery failures. Each requires different handling.

Can you give me an example of error handling in code?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from kafka import KafkaProducer, KafkaError

producer = KafkaProducer(bootstrap_servers='localhost:9092')

try:
    producer.send('my_topic', b'my_message')
except KafkaError as e:
    print(f'Error occurred: {e}')
finally:
    producer.close()
