⁠"Apache Kafka for OpenShift"

Run Apache Kafka⁠ and Apache ZooKeeper⁠ on OpenShift v3⁠.

This was developed for demonstration purposes. Use in environments where you do not need persistence in the face of failures or configuration tuning for scale.

The architecture is as follows:

• 1 pod containing a container for Apache Kafka and Apache ZooKeeper
• 1 service to access the containers

⁠Quick start

1. Load resources (Templates, DeploymentConfigs, Services)

oc create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mattf/openshift-kafka/master/resources.yaml

1. Deploy the Apache Kafka + Apache Zookeeper pod

   Copy

oc new-app apache-kafka

## Follow the [Apache Kafka Documentation Quick Start](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#quickstart)

1. Deploy a debugging container and connect to it
   ```bash
oc run -it --rm kafka-debug --image=mattf/openshift-kafka --command -- bash

1. Create a topic

   Copy

bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper apache-kafka --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic test

1. List topics
   ```bash
bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper apache-kafka

1. Send some messages

   Copy

bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list apache-kafka:9092 --topic test <<EOF foo bar baz EOF

1. Receive some messages
   ```bash
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server apache-kafka:9092 --topic test --from-beginning
