[Satendra Pratap Singh]

Hi All,

I am pushing data from nodejs server to kafka topic when i consume this
topic getting null values. i have checked javascript producer its working
fine and send data Json data to kafka. any help would be appreciated. i
have posted my producer code here.

var kafka = require('kafka-node');
var client = new kafka.Client('localhost:2181');
    var HighLevelProducer = kafka.HighLevelProducer;
    var producer = new kafka.HighLevelProducer(client);
    var KeyedMessage = kafka.KeyedMessage;
    var topicName = 'test1';
const buffer = new Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(data)); // i am getting data
from source in data variable.
            console.log('get into postdata');
            payloads = [{topic:topicName, message:buffer}];
               console.log('kafka producer is connected and ready.');
             producer.send(payloads, function(error, result) {
             console.info('Sent payload to Kafka: ', payloads);
            if (error) {
                console.error(error);
            } else {
                console.log('result: ', result)
            }
