5.1. Deploying example clients

This procedure shows how to deploy example producer and consumer clients that use the Kafka cluster you created to send and receive messages.

Prerequisites

  • The Kafka cluster is available for the clients.

Procedure

  1. Deploy a Kafka producer. 

    oc run kafka-producer -ti --image=registry.redhat.io/amq7/amq-streams-kafka-25-rhel7:1.5.0 --rm=true --restart=Never -- bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list cluster-name-kafka-bootstrap:9092 --topic my-topic
  2. Type a message into the console where the producer is running.
  3. Press Enter to send the message.

  4. Deploy a Kafka consumer. 

    oc run kafka-consumer -ti --image=registry.redhat.io/amq7/amq-streams-kafka-25-rhel7:1.5.0 --rm=true --restart=Never -- bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server cluster-name-kafka-bootstrap:9092 --topic my-topic --from-beginning
  5. Confirm that you see the incoming messages in the consumer console.
