Is this any bug with the Apache Kafka 0.9.0.0? I'm using the following command to list the topics and I get nothing even though the server was started with a topic being created!
Joes-MacBook-Pro:kafka_2.11-0.9.0.0 joe$ bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost:2181
Joes-MacBook-Pro:kafka_2.11-0.9.0.0 joe$
Here is the command that I used to start Apache Kafka:
bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties & bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic test_topic
It is getting harsh for me to just try out the basic stuff around the much hyped Apache Kafka. Here is one another example where I'm pretty much stuck!
I don't see the zookeeper started in your code. Please start zookeeper and then kafka in the same order.
bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties &
bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties &
Try to list the topics with the below command.
bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost:2181
You can create the topic with the below command
bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --create --topic test --partitions 1 --replication-factor 1
Once the topic is created, you get a message saying "test" created. Now you can try list command to see your topic listed.
Note: The replication factor depends upon the number of brokers that you run on a single server.
