Charmed Kafka snap repository.

This snap is based on the kafka snap: https://git.launchpad.net/kafka-snap/

To build locally, use snapcraft --debug

Install the snap (e.g., sudo snap install ./kafka_3.1.0_amd64.snap --dangerous --devmode).

You can run kafka with snap start charmed-kafka once the snap is installed. In a seperate shell, you can also run zookeeper with snap start charmed-kafka.zookeeper.

As per https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart run:

charmed-kafka.topics --create --topic quickstart-events --bootstrap-server localhost:9092
charmed-kafka.topics --describe --topic quickstart-events --bootstrap-server localhost:9092
charmed-kafka.console-producer --topic quickstart-events --bootstrap-server localhost:9092

Write any data to the topic, then halt with ctrl-C.

charmed-kafka.console-consumer --topic quickstart-events --from-beginning --bootstrap-server localhost:9092

Logs should be available at /var/snap/charmed-kafka/common/log.

Place your custom kafka configuration in the snap common directory at /var/snap/charmed-kafka/common/server.properties. If such configuration is not available, the default upstream configuration will be used.

Place your custom zookeeper configuration in the snap common directory at /var/snap/charmed-kafka/common/zookeeper.properties. If such configuration is not available, the default upstream configuration will be used.

If you want to use custom log4j properties, place your custom log4j properties file at the snap common directory at /var/snap/charmed-kafka/common/log4j.properties.

To load additional environment variables for kafka, define your environment variables in a new file at /var/snap/charmed-kafka/common/broker.env.
