What you've described should work. A producer can send to a single partition topic.
"When I run consumers to connect to the Topic I see no messages" But you can't have more than one consumer in a consumer group consuming, anything beyond the first consumer won't have a partition assigned to it since a partition can only be assigned to one consumer in a consumer group.
