# Kafka Simple Consumer
To use this extension, make sure to [include](../../operations/including-extensions.html) `druid-kafka-eight-simpleConsumer` extension.
## Firehose
This is an experimental firehose to ingest data from kafka using kafka simple consumer api. Currently, this firehose would only work inside standalone realtime processes.
The configuration for KafkaSimpleConsumerFirehose is similar to the Kafka Eight Firehose , except `firehose` should be replaced with `firehoseV2` like this:
```json
"firehoseV2": {
"type" : "kafka-0.8-v2",
"brokerList" : ["localhost:4443"],
"queueBufferLength":10001,
"resetOffsetToEarliest":"true",
"partitionIdList" : ["0"],
"clientId" : "localclient",
"feed": "wikipedia"
}
```
|property|description|required?|
|--------|-----------|---------|
|type|kafka-0.8-v2|yes|
|brokerList|list of the kafka brokers|yes|
|queueBufferLength|the buffer length for kafka message queue|no default(20000)|
|resetOffsetToEarliest|in case of kafkaOffsetOutOfRange error happens, consumer should starts from the earliest or latest message available|true|
|partitionIdList|list of kafka partition ids|yes|
|clientId|the clientId for kafka SimpleConsumer|yes|
|feed|kafka topic|yes|
For using this firehose at scale and possibly in production, it is recommended to set replication factor to at least three, which means at least three Kafka brokers in the `brokerList`. For a 1*10^4 events per second kafka topic, keeping one partition can work properly, but more partitions could be added if higher throughput is required.
