Apache Kafka Introductory Tutorial – Set up your first Kafka Producer and Consumer

Prerequisite

A basic understanding about Apache Kafka. Please go through the introduction once, should you need it.

Installation

Download the Kafka from here.

Untar the tar file that is downloaded.

tar -xzf kafka_2.11-2.1.0.tgz

Run The Server

cd kafka_2.11-2.1.0

Start the zookeeper first

bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties

Zookeeper would be running at 2181 port. You can check that in the following log:

[2018-12-25 14:32:23,634] INFO binding to port 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:2181 (org.apache.zookeeper.server.NIOServerCnxnFactory)

Start the Kafka Server in another tab.
