Kafka – Install Apache Kafka on Mac

Install Kafka on Mac OS

To install Apache Kafka on Mac, Java is the only prerequisite. First we shall look into the installation steps of Java and then we shall setup Apache Kafka and run it on the Mac.

Install Java

1. Open a browser and hit the url [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html].
2. Click on JDK, check “Accept License Agreement” and download .dmg file for installation on Mac.
3. Double click on the downloaded file and proceed with the installation steps.
4. You have successfully installed Java. You may delete the .dmg file, as memory is costly on Mac.

You may verify the installation of Java on Mac, by running the following command on a Terminal.

Install Apache Kafka on Mac

1. Download the latest Apache Kafka from [https://kafka.apache.org/downloads] under Binary downloads.

2. Click on any of the binary downloads, or choose a specific scala version if you have any dependency with scala in your development.

3. Go with the recommended mirror site.

4. Extract the contents.

Navigate to root of Apache Kafka folder and open a Terminal. Or Open a Terminal and navigate to the root directory of Apache Kafka.

Start Zookeeper

Apache Kafka depends on Zookeeper for cluster management. Hence, prior to starting Kafka, Zookeeper has to be started. There is no need to explicitly install Zookeeper, as it comes included with Apache Kafka.

From the root of Apache Kafka, run the following command to start Zookeeper :

The zookeeper should be started with a similar following trace in the output.

Start Apache Kafka Server

Open another Terminal and run the following command from the root of Apache Kafka to start Apache Kafka.

Following should be the end of trace stating that Kafka server is started.

Conclusion

In this Apache Kafka Tutorial, we have successfully learnt to install Apache Kafka on Mac and start Kafka along with Zookeeper.

Preface.

Kafka is used for building real-time data pipelines and streaming apps. It is horizontally scalable, fault-tolerant, wicked fast, and runs in production in thousands of companies.

In Kafka, the communication between the clients and the servers is done with a simple, high-performance, language agnostic TCP protocol. This protocol is versioned and maintains backward compatibility with an older version. We provide a Java client for Kafka, but clients are available in many languages.

MacOS Installation Guide.

As usual, it’s really easy to install Kafka on MacOS. Kafka installation consists of three parts. The first thing is to install Java 8. Yes, Java 8. Kafka works only with Java 8. Let’s use Brew to do this. Also if you haven’t installed Cask yet, you should do this now.

brew tap caskroom/cask
brew cask install java8

Next step is to install ZooKeeper — service discovery application. It will be installed together with Kafka. It’s fairly easy to do this.

Now we’re ready to use Kafka on our local machine. But we will do one more thing — let’s download Kafka archive. We will get configuration files from it. From the link below download the latest version of Kafka. Kafka is created using Scala, so you should choose your favorite Scala version from available Kafka archives. Our choice is Scala 2.12 and Kafka 2.1.0.

DEV SOFT LIFE FREE .

Apache Kafka – это один из самых популярных брокеров сообщений на рынке IT. Когда-то был разработан LinkedIn для своих внутренних нужд, позже был передан в OpenSource. В настоящее время главным мэинтейнером Apache Kafka является компания Confluent. Думаю на истории можно остановиться. Подробнее о Apache Kafka можно почитать здесь https://kafka.apache.org.

Какую проблему решает?

С одной стороны, когда мы имеем один источник данных и одного потребителя данных, то Kafka и другие брокеры сообщений нам вообще ни к чему. Примерно выглядит это вот так:

С другой стороны, в реальных проектах современного мира все выглядит немного по-другому. Примерно вот так:

Получается, имея 4 источника и 4 системы потребителя, нужно написать 16 интеграций. Apache Kafka – решает эту проблему, агрегирую внутри себя сообщения от источников, которые потом прочитываются потребителями.

Детально о том как устроена Kafka поговорим как-нибудь в другой раз, а сейчас давайте перейдем к практике и за 5 минут развернем “Кафку” у себя на MacOS.

Всего необходимо сделать следующие шаги:

1. Установить brew
2. Скачать и установить Java 8 JDK
3. Скачать и разархивировать Apache Kafka
4. Установить Kafka с помощью brew
5. Настроить конфигурационные файлы Zookeeper и Kafka
6. Запустить Zookeeper и Kafka
7. Создать Topic
8. Запустить потребителя и поставщика данных и отправить сообщения в Kafka

1. Чтобы установить brew просто введите эту строку в терминале
