Found some of the other references I'd used that also don't quite work: https://gist.github.com/fjavieralba/7930018 https://gist.github.com/mardambey/2650743
I know, the obvious question is what didn't work. I'm afraid I no longer recall. I took each example, tried it, got errors, tried to fix them (e.g. change properties names), etc. but it was on a deadline and several days ago and I no longer recall exactly what I did. I can try to recreate if people think one of those should work, but I suspect there have been known changes. It would be fantastic if this was all wrapped up in a single method or class so creating an embedded broker and/or cluster for testing was really easy.

I've found some resources that say this is possible. For example: http://ransilberman.wordpress.com/2013/07/19/how-to-unit-test-kafka/ but all the information I've found seems a little bit incorrect. For example, the above link uses "enable.zookeeper" which seems to be an ignored property. Similarly, other properties mentioned in that file have changed names. I found a few posts on this mailing list describing how it might be done (sorry - this was a few days ago and I don't have links handy), but they didn't quite work either. I tried digging into the scala code but it wasn't immediately obvious how to do things, probably partially because I don't know Scala. If somebody could post working Java code that constructs a Kafka broker that can be used for unit testing that would be fantastic. My preference would be something that doesn't require ZooKeeper, but there's some talk that in 0.8 that may no longer be an option. If not, using the Curator framework's TestingServer would be great (I'm using Curator everyone). But ultimately, I'll take anything that works! Thanks in advance, Oliver
