Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed streaming platform that is used to build real-time streaming data pipelines and applications that adapt to data streams. Streaming data is data that is continuously generated by thousands of data sources, which typically send the data records simultaneously.
Kafka is a broker-based solution that operates by maintaining streams of data as records within a cluster of servers. Kafka servers can span multiple data centers and provide data persistence by storing streams of records (messages) across multiple server instances in topics.
A topic stores records or messages as a series of tuples, a sequence of immutable Python objects, which consist of a key, a value, and a timestamp.
Apache Kafka requires a running Zookeeper instance, which is used for reliable distributed coordination. A zookeeper can be installed from
this link https://zookeeper.apache.org/.
Please downloading the Required Files:
Here we are using a full-fledged zookeeper and not the one packaged with Kafka because it will be a single-node Zookeeper instance.
If you want you can run Kafka with packaged zookeeper located in the Kafka package inside \kafka\bin\windows directory.
After installing JDK, add the JAVA_HOME path to the Environment variables.
Important: Please ensure that your Zookeeper instance is up and running before starting a Kafka server.
