Getting started with Kafka using Java client

[Tarun Sapra <t....@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

Can someone please point me to a well documented github code example for
using Kafka 's java client. So far I haven't been able to find much related
to using Java client. Most of the examples are using command prompt for
producing and consuming messages. It's a bit frustrating that though Kafka
has been generating so much hype in Big Data space but still lacks good
examples on the internet

Thanks & Regards,
Tarun

Hi Tarun

There is an examples section in the kafka project here <https://github.com/apache/kafka/tree/trunk/examples> which shows the Consumer, SingleConsumer and Producer. These are just clients so you’ll need ZK and a Kafka server running to get them going. You probably don’t need to worry about the SimpleConsumerDemo which is an older way of interacting with Kafka.

Another option is to run a client from inside a test. There is a very simple example here <https://gist.github.com/benstopford/49555b2962f93f6d50e3>.
