I found the quick start https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart example very helpful. It made it really easy to understand how download, start up, create topic, push some data through the Kafka. I did not find https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart#quickstart_kafkaconnect useful.
I am looking for something very simple to learning how to configure and use connectors using Apache Kafka distribution, not Confluent. I can run on my mac or Linux server. Being a newbie I want to keep things super simple. I do not want to have to debug firewalls, ACL, … I do not have a data base, access to twitter, … I thought maybe something some sort source/sink using the local file system? Any suggestions? Kind regards Andy p.s. I have read a lot of documentation most of it is very high level. Can anyone recommend a “hand on” tutorial?
