I am new to Kafka. I'd like to see example code that uses a Producer and handles connectivity errors to Kafka brokers and/or ZooKeeper.
I have seen some code that creates and tears down a Producer for each message that is sent, but this doesn't seem right to me. The same example code, queries ZooKeeper to ask if Kafka is running before creating the Producer. I don't know why this is done. What if ZooKeeper isn't up? Why not just try to make the connection and handle any errors that occur? A nice, well written example, would clear up a lot of my questions. Thanks, C.
