Just a followup for completeness sake -- for testing purpose I have setup
fluentd and fluent-plugin-kafka plugin. Now my android APP now does POST to
this fluent instance which forwards the message on to Kafka and then
subsequent items in the processing pipeline.

Thanks Philip, I will certainly take a look.
I had not considered the fact that Kafka doesn't have any
security/authentication mechanism yet, so using some kind of secure gateway
certainly makes sense.

Agreeing with Philip!
Our use of Kafka is with a relatively small number of high volume producers
and consumers. I'm pretty sure Kafka wasn't designed for large numbers of
either Producers or Consumers, as would be necessary for any significant
number of mobile clients.
Also, while an Android dev
You should find code here that will help you get a HTTP app server together,
that writes to Kafka on the back-end.

discussed this a little off-the-list, but perhaps my thoughts might be of wider
interest.
Kafka, in my experience, works best when Producers have a persistent TCP
connection to the Broker(s) (and possibly Zookeeper). I gues
Hello Steven,
Thanks for your suggestions, I have certainly seen other stack/presentation
where people do forward their messages to their own receiver which forwards
the message to kafka -- basically they write their own producer(s).
The question I haven't been able to answer for myself- why -- d
Hi Subodh,
I would think you'd be better off having an app server of some kind as an
intermediary that accepts messages from your android app and posts them to
Kafka for you, rather than having your app be a Kafka Producer on its own.

Hello,
I am trying to make my Android application to be the producer of messages
that get sent to Kafka server.
I am trying to compile my android code using following libraries -
kafka_2.9.2-0.8.1.1.jar, scala-library-2.9.2.jar
However I am running into issue where it produces too many methods.
