Getting Started

NOTE: I am assuming use of Docker for Mac with these examples.( KAFKA_ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME=localhost )

docker run -d \
           --name kafka \
           -p 9092:9092 \
           -e KAFKA_ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME=localhost \
           -e KAFKA_CREATE_TOPICS="test-topic:1:1" \
           blacktop/kafka

This will create a single-node kafka broker (listening on localhost:9092), a local zookeeper instance and create the topic test-topic with 1 replication-factor and 1 partition .

You can now test your new single-node kafka broker using Shopify/sarama's kafka-console-producer and kafka-console-consumer

Required

Golang

$ go get github.com/Shopify/sarama/tools/kafka-console-consumer
$ go get github.com/Shopify/sarama/tools/kafka-console-producer

Now start a consumer in the background and then send some data to kafka via a producer

$ kafka-console-consumer --brokers=localhost:9092 --topic=test-topic &
$ echo "shrinky-dinks" | kafka-console-producer --brokers=localhost:9092 --topic=test-topic

Todo

Add ability to run a single node kafka broker when you don't supply a zookeeper link.
