Sample code for testing Kafka

Creating eclipse project

mvn eclipse:eclipse

Go to your Eclipse IDE and import exisiting project

Compilation

mvn clean compile package

Running without Kerberos

Go to the server where you have installed Kafka and create the topic

./bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --create --topic test101 --partitions 1 --replication-factor 1

First test using Kafka console/CLI utilities

From one window/terminal start the publisher

bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list `hostname -f`:6667 --topic test101

From another window/terminal start the consumer

bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic test101

Make a copy of input.properties and update

bootstrap.servers=<your broker service host>:<your broker service port>

Running producer/publisher

./run_publisher.sh <input.properties>

Running consumer

./run_Consumer.sh <input.properties>

Running with Kerberos

For you running in Kerberos environment, you need to create a principal for the client application. For the principal create a keytab

To create the test topic, go to the Kafka broker server

sudo su - kafka
kinit kafka
bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper `hostname -f`:2181 --create --topic test101 --partitions 1 --replication-factor 1

First test using Kafka console/CLI utilities

From one window/terminal start the publisher

kinit <user principal>
bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list `hostname -f`:6667 --topic test101 --security-protocol PLAINTEXTSASL

From another window/terminal start the consumer

kinit <user principal> (if different user)
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper `hostname -f`:2181 --topic test101 --security-protocol PLAINTEXTSASL --from-beginning 
--consumer.config /tmp/consumer.properties --delete-consumer-offsets

Setting up Kerberos client for Kafka

Copy the client user keytab to the client machine

Make a copy of kafka_client_jaas.conf and update the keytab location and principal name

KafkaClient {
      	com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required
        useKeyTab=true
        storeKey=true
        keyTab="jane.keytab"
        principal="[email protected]";
};

Running Publisher/Producer

./run_publisher_kerberos.sh input.properties kafka_client_jaas.conf

Running consumer

./run_consumer_kerberos.sh input.properties kafka_client_jaas.conf
