Rick,
>From your example, what is the correct way to call the logger in the task? >Something like: import java.util.Map; import org.apache.samza.system.IncomingMessageEnvelope; import org.apache.samza.system.OutgoingMessageEnvelope; import org.apache.samza.system.SystemStream; import org.apache.samza.task.MessageCollector; import org.apache.samza.task.StreamTask; import org.apache.samza.task.TaskCoordinator; public class uimodPageloadStreamTask implements StreamTask { private static final SystemStream OUTPUT_STREAM = new SystemStream(“kafka”, “kafka-output-test”); @Override public void process(IncomingMessageEnvelope envelope, MessageCollector collector, TaskCoordinator coordinator) { logger.info(envelope.getMessage()); collector.send(new OutgoingMessageEnvelope(OUTPUT_STREAM, text)); } } Also, in what log file would the log messages end up? /logs/stdout for that application container? I got System.out.println() to work similarly but it seems to be doing some formatting of the messages. I am trying to consume messages from one Kafka topic and produce to another. While I can use zookeeper to see the messages in the originating topic they never make it to the destination and I am trying to find out why.
