Apache Kafka-2.13-4.0.2 Powered by GlobalSolutions

Kafka

Apache Kafka is a publish-subscribe based fault-tolerant messaging system. In comparison to other messaging systems, Kafka has better throughput,
built-in partitioning, replication, and inherent fault-tolerance, which makes it a good fit for large-scale message processing applications.

We have packaged and hardened the Kafka service offering so our customers can seamlessly subscribe to this offering with no setup work from their end.
All that you have to do is subscribe to this offering from the marketplace, create topics, publish messages from the producers and start consuming with the consumers.

Kafka as a Service

Installation location and accessing Kafka -

Kafka is under C:\kafka

The instance is tuned in a way that one can start using the instance immediately as the Kafka are installed as a service and is in a running state.You can start and stop the service by going to Administrative tool.

Sample :

1. We have created a "test-topic" sample.
2. We also created a producer and consumer batch file and placed it on the desktop.

Steps to publish a message to the topic.

First one has to run the Producer , in order to run the producer click on the start-producer icon on the desktop. It will open a Producer command window.

Steps to consume the message as a consumer.

Then one has to run the Consumer, in order to run the consumer click on the start-consumer icon on the desktop. I t will open a Consumer command window.

How to check ?

Now type anything in the producer command prompt and press enter key, and you should be able to see the message in the other consumer command window.
