Regarding the Producers and Consumers of Kafka

Query: Making an interface of router as the producer of kafka cluster.

Issue: My router's interface can push the data to the port on which kafka
is running. (by                     default 9092).
          Q. 1 But can the kafka broker accept this data without a topic
being created ?
          Q. 2 Can a kafka consumer pull data without specifying a topic ?

          If yes, How ?

          If not, What is work around this and how can i achieve this ?


Solution:


Thank You.

Kafka topics are auto created by default. A consumer can specify a regex
".*" if it wants to consumer all topics.

Thanks,
