Initialize Pulsar Go client

To interact with Pulsar, you need a Client object first.

You can create a client object using the NewClient function, passing in a ClientOptions object.

Here's an example:

import (
"log"
"time"

"github.com/apache/pulsar-client-go/pulsar"
)

func main() {
client, err := pulsar.NewClient(pulsar.ClientOptions{
URL: "pulsar://localhost:6650",
OperationTimeout: 30 * time.Second,
ConnectionTimeout: 30 * time.Second,
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Could not instantiate Pulsar client: %v", err)
}

defer client.Close()
}

If you have multiple brokers, you can initiate a client object as below.

import (
"log"
"time"
"github.com/apache/pulsar-client-go/pulsar"
)

func main() {
client, err := pulsar.NewClient(pulsar.ClientOptions{
URL: "pulsar://localhost:6650,localhost:6651,localhost:6652",
OperationTimeout: 30 * time.Second,
ConnectionTimeout: 30 * time.Second,
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Could not instantiate Pulsar client: %v", err)
}

defer client.Close()
}

For all configurable parameters, see ClientOptions.
