Re: Removing kafka topic contents from Java

2016-10-24 Thread Ali Akhtar

I would recommend base64 encoding the message on the producer side, and decoding it on the consumer side. On Wed, Nov 9, 2016 at 3:40 PM, Baris Akgun (Garanti Teknoloji) < barisa...@garanti.com.tr> wrote: > Hi All, > > We are using Kafka 0,9.0.0 and we want to send our messages to topic in > UTF-

Its probably not UTF-8 if it contains Turkish characters. That's why base64 encoding / decoding it might help. On Wed, Nov 9, 2016 at 4:22 PM, Radoslaw Gruchalski wrote: > Are you sure your string is in utf-8 in the first place? > What if you pass your string via something like: > > System.out.p

Heya, Normally, you add your topics and their callbacks to a StreamBuilder, and then call KafkaStreams.start() to start ingesting those topics. Is it possible to add a new topic to the StreamBuilder, and start ingesting that as well, after KafkaStreams.start() has been called? Thanks.
