Prerequisite

Commands

  • Start Zookeper Container and expose PORT 2181.
docker run -p 2181:2181 zookeeper
  • Start Kafka Container, expose PORT 9092 and setup ENV variables.
docker run -p 9092:9092 \
-e KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT=<PRIVATE_IP>:2181 \
-e KAFKA_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS=PLAINTEXT://<PRIVATE_IP>:9092 \

Code

client.js

const { Kafka } = require("kafkajs");

exports.kafka = new Kafka({
  clientId: "my-app",
  brokers: ["<PRIVATE_IP>:9092"],
});

admin.js

const { kafka } = require("./client");

    topics: [
      {

      },
    ],
  });

  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout,
});

@DeepanshuGupta8990 error related to only one partition being used
confirm this code snippet in your producer.js ,it works for me (mine had scope issue)
messages: [
{
partition: location.toLowerCase() === "north" ? 0 : 1,
key: "location-update",
value: JSON.stringify({ name: riderName, location }),
},
],

change the topic to something else like rider-status, I also had the same issue. i think it will keep the whatever code we deployed first so just change the topic. I hope it will work as intended.

This worked for me.

I am not able to generate and see SOUTH location. Its showing only NORTH

I also had this same issue, what worked for me is

* in admin.js file, update the topic name

* run admin.js again

* run producer and consumer again it worked for me

It worked for me as well

It worked well, Admin server need to be updated with new topic name else it won;t work

Also if you are getting error that port received NaN then type URL like this localhost:9092 instead of http://localhost:9092

Edit: add kafka UI

I tried your solution still getting error, below is what I used:

I'm having linux mint, and used curl ifconfig to get the ip.

I need to run the consumer and producer on different servers. Can someone let me know what changes I should implement to set that up?

Yes. Simply run producer file onto a different server you will have to copy client.js also on to another server

Thank you for replying but I suspect I will have issues with the docker files and with establishing a connection from the producer to the consumer. Should I be worried about that?

No. I don't think so. Try it and share the git repo I will check and try to help.

In general, the topic name should remain the same throughout Kafka

  1. At the moment of creation
  2. When the producer is being produced
  3. At the moment of consuming

@Axhat I hope this helps

Instead of <PRIVATE_IP> i want to use localhost, but its not working,(changed in kafka container and client.js)
is there any solution for this?

When running Kafka in Docker, you can't use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as the value for KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT and KAFKA_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS. This is because localhost and 127.0.0.1 refer to the container's own loopback interface, not the host machine's IP address. So you have to use your own IPv4 address

for this you can use -p and expose your machine 's ports

  • change the topic from admin.js consumer.js and producer.js
  • run admin.js (node admin.js)
    ** Then the partitioner will be form and assign as it should be **
