KafkaProducer takes ProducerRecord as an argument to send(). See the code: https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/producer/KafkaProducer.java#L298
and a usage example here: https://github.com/gwenshap/kafka-examples/blob/master/SimpleCounter/src/main/java/com/shapira/examples/producer/simplecounter/DemoProducerNewJava.java If you can send Seq<KeyedMessage> instead, it looks like you are still using an older Scala producer. Please check your import statements and which object you are instantiating.
