vibe.d kafka driver & probabilistic linear counting

[yawniek via Digitalmars-d-announce]

we pushed 2 new projects:

a native kafka driver to work with the vibe.d eventloop
http://code.dlang.org/packages/kafka-d
it's not full featured yet (no zookeeper) but the basic use cases 
work fine.
throughput depends on the buffer sizes but we achieved gigabit 
speeds in benchmarks.
thanks to Piotr for most of the implementation.

after unsuccessful C bindings to redis hyperloglog datastructure 
i came to
the conclusion that a linear probabilistc counter should be 
sufficient for many use cases.
even contains some optimizations for UUID.
thanks Ilya for the implementation:
