Apache Kafka

Using Vagrant to get up and running.

1. Install Vagrant http://www.vagrantup.com/
2. Install Virtual Box https://www.virtualbox.org/

In the main kafka folder

1. ./sbt update
2. ./sbt package
3. ./sbt assembly-package-dependency
4. vagrant up

once this is done

• Zookeeper will be running 192.168.50.5
• Broker 1 on 192.168.50.10
• Broker 2 on 192.168.50.20
• Broker 3 on 192.168.50.30

When you are all up and running you will be back at a command brompt.

If you want you can login to the machines using vagrant ssh but you don't need to.

You can access the brokers and zookeeper by their IP

e.g.

bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list 192.168.50.10:9092,192.168.50.20:9092,192.168.50.30:9092 --topic sandbox

bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper 192.168.50.5:2181 --topic sandbox --from-beginning
