Hello Everyone, Sorry for asking multiple questions, but I am currently trying another approach to run a kafka producer.
1) I started the kafka console producer as mentioned here in the background (just added a & to the end of the producer script) : http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#introduction 2) I then ran a Java script that publishes messages to the console, like Hello World, etc, but the messages did not get published (I know the connection was set up as if I manually typed in messages, I was able to see them in my consumer). 3) Is this set up possible? Thanks! -Su
