I want to ensure whether kafka server is running or not before starting production and consumption jobs. It is in windows environment and here's my kafka server's code in eclipse...
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty("broker.id", "1");
properties.setProperty("port", "9092");
properties.setProperty("log.dirs", "D://workspace//");
properties.setProperty("zookeeper.connect", "localhost:2181");
Option<String> option = Option.empty();
KafkaConfig config = new KafkaConfig(properties);
KafkaServer kafka = new KafkaServer(config, new CurrentTime(), option);
kafka.startup();
In this case if (kafka != null)
is not enough because it is always true. So is there any way to know that my kafka server is running and ready for producer. It is necessary for me to check this because it causes loss of some starting data packets.
