LibRdKafka for OpenVMS I64

This document provides an overview, installation instructions, and configuration details for the LibRdKafka port to VSI OpenVMS I64. Based on the 1.3.0 Open Source distribution, this kit includes a portable C/C++ API for the Apache Kafka protocol, along with a wrapper API for other programming languages like COBOL, Pascal, and FORTRAN. It details requirements (VSI OpenVMS 8.4-1H1+), installation procedures via PCSI, and guidance for post-installation setup, including the definition of logical names and configuration for system boot. It also outlines limitations of the language-agnostic API compared to the core C/C++ API and provides pointers for sample applications.
