Thanks Joestein for the reply. I would be glad if I get some references of java code for the same. Secondly will it be a good approach to send complete files rather than the url of the files on kafka queue.

We built a prototype a while back https://github.com/stealthly/f2k though I can't say I have bumped into a use case where the tradeoffs worked to do it. Chunking the file in each message and reconstructing it is going to be an overhead or your going to block on waiting to write big messages. ~ Joestein On Feb 26, 2015 9:09 AM, "Udbhav Agarwal" <udbhav.agar...@syncoms.com> wrote: > Hi, > Can we send pdf, image etc files in kafka queue.
