Using Apache Kafka from CFML

Examples of using apache kafka with cfml.

Installation

Kakfa

• Download, unzip and start Kafka.

  Offical kafka download page

  cd <kafka-dir>
  sudo ./bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh -daemon config/zookeeper.properties
  sudo ./bin/kafka-server-start.sh -daemon config/server.properties

• Create our test topic, mytopic:

  sudo ./bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --topic mytopic --partitions 5 --replication-factor 1 --zookeeper localhost:2181

• start a console kafka client, so you can see the messages that we will send to it:

  ./bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic  mytopic --from-beginning

CFML

• Clone this repo, start server with commandbox:

    cd cfml-kafka
    commandbox> start server libDirs=lib

• From the website that opens commandbox, you can send messages to "mytopic" topic and you can see it in the kafka client console.
