EMQX plugin Kafka bridge send messgaes from broker to kafka

EMQX kafka bridge

This is a plugin for the EMQX broker that sends all messages received by the broker to kafka.

Build the EMQ broker

1. Clone emqx-rel project

   We need to clone the EMQ-x project GITHUB

  git clone https://github.com/emqx/emqx-rel

Documentaion is not complete yet.

Start the EMQ broker and load the plugin

1. cd emq-relx/_rel/emqttd
2. ./bin/emqttd start
3. ./bin/emqttd_ctl plugins load emqttd_kafka_bridge

Test

Send a MQTT message on a random topic from a MQTT client to your EMQ broker.

The following should be received by your kafka consumer :

{"topic":"yourtopic", "message":[yourmessage]} This is the format in which kafka will receive the MQTT messages

If Kafka consumer shows no messages even after publishing to EMQTT - ACL makes the plugin fail, so please remove all the ACL related code to ensure it runs properly. We will soon push the updated (Working) code to the repository.
