Drone simulation regularly sending messages to an Apache Kafka stream.

Drone Simulator & CSVtoStream

The Go code implements a

• drone simulation regularly sending messages to an Azure EventHubs (considered as an Apache Kafka stream)
• csv sender, that sends each line of the given .csv file as a message to the same EventHubs

Build

To build the go app, follow these steps

• install Go and setup the Go environment, such as assigning the different values (GOPATH, etc)
• install dep
• clone the repo following this path: $GOPATH/src/github.com/nicofeals/prestacop
• export KAFKA_EVENTHUB_CONNECTION_STRING with the correct value for the Azure EventHubs

dep ensure -v
cd cmd/
go build .

This will produce the cmd binary

Run

If you want a global overview of how to run the app, simply run ./cmd -h.

• To see how to launch the drone simulator, run ./cmd drone -h. This will display a small help explaining how to use it, and what the arguments are.
• Accordingly, to run the CSVtoStream, run ./cmd csv -h. Again, this will display a help explaining how to launch it properly

NOTE: Running ./cmd drone or ./cmd csv as is will surely fail, as some arguments are mandatory, and their default value (if they have one) won't be the appropriate one.
