+# Kafka Gateway Tests with SMQ Integration
+
+This directory contains tests for the SeaweedFS Kafka Gateway with full SeaweedMQ (SMQ) integration.
+
+## Test Types
+
+### **Unit Tests** (`./unit/`)
+- Basic gateway functionality
+- Protocol compatibility 
+- No SeaweedFS backend required
+- Uses mock handlers
+
+### **Integration Tests** (`./integration/`)
+- **Mock Mode** (default): Uses in-memory handlers for protocol testing
+- **SMQ Mode** (with `SEAWEEDFS_MASTERS`): Uses real SeaweedFS backend for full integration
+
+### **E2E Tests** (`./e2e/`)
+- End-to-end workflows
+- Automatically detects SMQ availability
+- Falls back to mock mode if SMQ unavailable
+
+## Running Tests Locally
+
+### Quick Protocol Testing (Mock Mode)
+```bash
+# Run all integration tests with mock backend
+cd test/kafka
+go test ./integration/...
+
+# Run specific test
+go test -v ./integration/ -run TestClientCompatibility
+```
+
+### Full Integration Testing (SMQ Mode)
+Requires running SeaweedFS instance:
+
+1. **Start SeaweedFS with MQ support:**
+```bash
+# Terminal 1: Start SeaweedFS server
+weed server -ip="127.0.0.1" -ip.bind="0.0.0.0" -dir=/tmp/seaweedfs-data -master.port=9333 -volume.port=8081 -filer.port=8888 -filer=true -master.peers=none
+
+# Terminal 2: Start MQ broker  
+weed mq.broker -master="127.0.0.1:9333" -ip="127.0.0.1" -port=17777
+```
+
+2. **Run tests with SMQ backend:**
+```bash
+cd test/kafka
+SEAWEEDFS_MASTERS=127.0.0.1:9333 go test ./integration/...
+
+# Run specific SMQ integration tests
+SEAWEEDFS_MASTERS=127.0.0.1:9333 go test -v ./integration/ -run TestSMQIntegration
+```
+
+### Test Broker Startup
+If you're having broker startup issues:
+```bash
+# Debug broker startup locally
+./scripts/test-broker-startup.sh
+```
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+### GitHub Actions Jobs
+
+1. **Unit Tests** - Fast protocol tests with mock backend
+2. **Integration Tests** - Mock mode by default  
+3. **E2E Tests (with SMQ)** - Full SeaweedFS + MQ broker stack
+4. **Client Compatibility (with SMQ)** - Tests different Kafka clients against real backend
+5. **Consumer Group Tests (with SMQ)** - Tests consumer group persistence
+6. **SMQ Integration Tests** - Dedicated SMQ-specific functionality tests
+
+### What Gets Tested with SMQ
+
+When `SEAWEEDFS_MASTERS` is available, tests exercise:
+
+- **Real Message Persistence** - Messages stored in SeaweedFS volumes  
+- **Offset Persistence** - Consumer group offsets stored in SeaweedFS filer  
+- **Topic Persistence** - Topic metadata persisted in SeaweedFS filer  
+- **Consumer Group Coordination** - Distributed coordinator assignment  
+- **Cross-Client Compatibility** - Sarama, kafka-go with real backend  
+- **Broker Discovery** - Gateway discovers MQ brokers via masters  
+
+## Test Infrastructure
+
+### `testutil.NewGatewayTestServerWithSMQ(t, mode)`
+
+Smart gateway creation that automatically:
+- Detects SMQ availability via `SEAWEEDFS_MASTERS`
+- Uses production handler when available
+- Falls back to mock when unavailable  
+- Provides timeout protection against hanging
+
+**Modes:**
+- `SMQRequired` - Skip test if SMQ unavailable
+- `SMQAvailable` - Use SMQ if available, otherwise mock
+- `SMQUnavailable` - Always use mock
+
+### Timeout Protection
+
+Gateway creation includes timeout protection to prevent CI hanging:
+- 20 second timeout for `SMQRequired` mode
+- 15 second timeout for `SMQAvailable` mode  
+- Clear error messages when broker discovery fails
+
+## Debugging Failed Tests
+
+### CI Logs to Check
+1. **"SeaweedFS master is up"** - Master started successfully
+2. **"SeaweedFS filer is up"** - Filer ready  
+3. **"SeaweedFS MQ broker is up"** - Broker started successfully
+4. **Broker/Server logs** - Shown on broker startup failure
+
+### Local Debugging
+1. Run `./scripts/test-broker-startup.sh` to test broker startup
+2. Check logs at `/tmp/weed-*.log` 
+3. Test individual components:
+   ```bash
+   # Test master
+   curl http://127.0.0.1:9333/cluster/status
+   
+   # Test filer  
+   curl http://127.0.0.1:8888/status
+   
+   # Test broker
+   nc -z 127.0.0.1 17777
+   ```
+
+### Common Issues
+- **Broker fails to start**: Check filer is ready before starting broker
+- **Gateway timeout**: Broker discovery fails, check broker is accessible  
+- **Test hangs**: Timeout protection not working, reduce timeout values
+

+# Kafka Client Load Test for SeaweedFS
+
+This comprehensive load testing suite validates the SeaweedFS MQ stack using real Kafka client libraries. Unlike the existing SMQ tests, this uses actual Kafka clients (`sarama` and `confluent-kafka-go`) to test the complete integration through:
+
+- **Kafka Clients** → **SeaweedFS Kafka Gateway** → **SeaweedFS MQ Broker** → **SeaweedFS Storage**
+
+## Architecture

+
+make test
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Main Configuration File
+Edit `config/loadtest.yaml` to customize:
+
+- **Kafka Settings**: Bootstrap servers, security, timeouts
+- **Producer Config**: Batching, compression, acknowledgments  
+- **Consumer Config**: Group settings, fetch parameters
+- **Message Settings**: Size, format (JSON/Avro/Binary)
+- **Schema Registry**: Avro/Protobuf schema validation
+- **Metrics**: Prometheus collection intervals
+- **Test Scenarios**: Predefined load patterns
+
+### Example Custom Configuration
+```yaml
+test_mode: "comprehensive"
+duration: "600s"  # 10 minutes
+
+producers:
+  count: 15
+  message_rate: 2000
+  message_size: 2048

+  acks: "all"
+
+consumers:
+  count: 8
+  group_prefix: "high-load-group"
+  max_poll_records: 1000
+
+topics:
+  count: 10
+  partitions: 6
+  replication_factor: 1
+```
+
+## Test Scenarios
+
+### 1. Producer Performance Test
+```bash
+make producer-test TEST_DURATION=10m PRODUCER_COUNT=20 MESSAGE_RATE=3000
+```
+Tests maximum message production throughput.
+
+### 2. Consumer Performance Test  
+```bash
+# First produce messages
+make producer-test TEST_DURATION=5m
+
+# Then test consumption
+make consumer-test TEST_DURATION=10m CONSUMER_COUNT=15
+```
+
+### 3. Schema Registry Integration
+```bash
+# Enable schemas in config/loadtest.yaml
+schemas:
+  enabled: true
+  
+make test
+```
+Tests Avro message serialization through Schema Registry.
+
+### 4. High Availability Test
+```bash
+# Test with container restarts during load
+make test TEST_DURATION=20m &

+```
+
+## Monitoring & Metrics
+
+### Real-Time Dashboards
+When monitoring is enabled:
+- **Prometheus**: http://localhost:9090
+- **Grafana**: http://localhost:3000 (admin/admin)
+
+### Key Metrics Tracked
+- **Throughput**: Messages/second, MB/second
+- **Latency**: End-to-end message latency percentiles

+- Partition rebalancing simulation
+- Consumer failure recovery testing
+
+### Chaos Testing
+```yaml
+chaos:
+  enabled: true

+  consumer_failure_rate: 0.01
+  network_partition_probability: 0.001
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### Services Not Starting
+```bash
+# Check service health
+make health-check
+
+# View detailed logs
+make logs
+
+# Debug mode
+make debug
+```
+
+#### Low Throughput
+- Increase `MESSAGE_RATE` and `PRODUCER_COUNT`
+- Adjust `batch_size` and `linger_ms` in config
+- Check consumer `max_poll_records` setting
+
+#### High Latency
+- Reduce `linger_ms` for lower latency
+- Adjust `acks` setting (0, 1, or "all")
+- Monitor consumer lag
+
+#### Memory Issues  
+```bash
+# Reduce concurrent clients
+make test PRODUCER_COUNT=5 CONSUMER_COUNT=3
+
+# Adjust message size  
+make test MESSAGE_SIZE=512
+```
+
+### Debug Commands
+```bash
+# Execute shell in containers
+make exec-master
+make exec-filer  
+make exec-gateway
+
+# Attach to load test
+make attach-loadtest
+
+# View real-time stats
+curl http://localhost:8080/stats
+```

+| Standard | 5         | 3         | 2,500        | <20ms         |
+| Stress   | 20        | 10        | 40,000       | <50ms         |
+| Endurance| 10        | 5         | 10,000       | <30ms         |
+
+*Results vary based on hardware, network, and SeaweedFS configuration*
+
+### Tuning for Maximum Performance
+```yaml
+producers:
+  batch_size: 1000
+  linger_ms: 10
+  compression_type: "lz4"
+  acks: "1"  # Balance between speed and durability
+
+consumers:  
+  max_poll_records: 5000
+  fetch_min_bytes: 1048576  # 1MB
+  fetch_max_wait_ms: 100
+```
+

+// TestConsumerStallingPattern is a REPRODUCER for the consumer stalling bug.

+// This test simulates the exact pattern that causes consumers to stall:
+// 1. Consumer reads messages in batches
+// 2. Consumer commits offset after each batch
+// 3. On next batch, consumer fetches offset+1 but gets empty response
+// 4. Consumer stops fetching (BUG!)
+//
+// Expected: Consumer should retry and eventually get messages
+// Actual (before fix): Consumer gives up silently
+//
+// To run this test against a real load test:
+// 1. Start infrastructure: make start
+// 2. Produce messages: make clean && rm -rf ./data && TEST_MODE=producer TEST_DURATION=30s make standard-test
+// 3. Run reproducer: go test -v -run TestConsumerStallingPattern ./internal/consumer
+//
+// If the test FAILS, it reproduces the bug (consumer stalls before offset 1000)
+// If the test PASSES, it means consumer successfully fetches all messages (bug fixed)
+func TestConsumerStallingPattern(t *testing.T) {
+	t.Skip("REPRODUCER TEST: Requires running load test infrastructure. See comments for setup.")
+
+	// This test documents the exact stalling pattern:
+	// - Consumers consume messages 0-163, commit offset 163
+	// - Next iteration: fetch offset 164+
+	// - But fetch returns empty instead of data
+	// - Consumer stops instead of retrying
+	//
+	// The fix involves ensuring:
+	// 1. Offset+1 is calculated correctly after commit

+# Simple Kafka-Go Publisher for SeaweedMQ
+
+This is a simple publisher client that demonstrates publishing raw messages to SeaweedMQ topics with "_" prefix, which bypass schema validation.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Schema-Free Publishing**: Topics with "_" prefix don't require schema validation
+- **Raw Message Storage**: Messages are stored in a "value" field as raw bytes
+- **Multiple Message Formats**: Supports JSON, binary, and empty messages
+- **Kafka-Go Compatible**: Uses the popular kafka-go library
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **SeaweedMQ Running**: Make sure SeaweedMQ is running on `localhost:17777` (default Kafka port)
+2. **Go Modules**: The project uses Go modules for dependency management
+
+## Setup and Run
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to the publisher directory
+cd test/kafka/simple-publisher
+
+# Download dependencies
+go mod tidy
+
+# Run the publisher
+go run main.go
+```
+
+## Expected Output
+
+```
+Publishing messages to topic '_raw_messages' on broker 'localhost:17777'
+Publishing messages...
+- Published message 1: {"id":1,"message":"Hello from kafka-go client",...}
+- Published message 2: {"id":2,"message":"Raw message without schema validation",...}
+- Published message 3: {"id":3,"message":"Testing SMQ with underscore prefix topic",...}
+
+Publishing different raw message formats...
+- Published raw message 1: key=binary_key, value=Simple string message
+- Published raw message 2: key=json_key, value={"raw_field": "raw_value", "number": 42}
+- Published raw message 3: key=empty_key, value=
+- Published raw message 4: key=, value=Message with no key
+
+All test messages published to topic with '_' prefix!
+These messages should be stored as raw bytes without schema validation.
+```
+
+## Topic Naming Convention
+
+- **Schema-Required Topics**: `user-events`, `orders`, `payments` (require schema validation)
+- **Schema-Free Topics**: `_raw_messages`, `_logs`, `_metrics` (bypass schema validation)
+
+The "_" prefix tells SeaweedMQ to treat the topic as a system topic and skip schema processing entirely.
+
+## Message Storage
+
+For topics with "_" prefix:
+- Messages are stored as raw bytes without schema validation
+- No Confluent Schema Registry envelope is required
+- Any binary data or text can be published
+- SMQ assumes raw messages are stored in a "value" field internally
+
+## Integration with SeaweedMQ
+
+This client works with SeaweedMQ's existing schema bypass logic:
+
+1. **`isSystemTopic()`** function identifies "_" prefix topics as system topics
+2. **`produceSchemaBasedRecord()`** bypasses schema processing for system topics  
+3. **Raw storage** via `seaweedMQHandler.ProduceRecord()` stores messages as-is
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- **Log ingestion**: Store application logs without predefined schema
+- **Metrics collection**: Publish time-series data in various formats
+- **Raw data pipelines**: Process unstructured data before applying schemas
+- **Development/testing**: Quickly publish test data without schema setup
