Note: This has been modified a bit from the original in order to work on ARM-based Macs. In the original repo, this uses the os72 maven plugin for protobuf. It's been switched here in order to use a protobuf release that's more recent and supports non-intel architectures.
Install protobuf from homebrew;
Set things up by running:
Once you have Lenses box up and running execute:
java -Dlog4j.configuration=file:pwd
/log4j.properties -cp target/kafka-send-proto-0.1.0.jar kafka.SendKafkaProto
If facing unkwown host issue on MacOS try editing your local hosts by running: sudo vim /etc/hosts
and matching 127.0.0.1 to the host ip address.
