• 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

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