kafka-puppet

A Puppet module for installing and managing Apache Kafka brokers.

Requirements:

• Java
• An installable Apache Kafka package. You can use the one available at kafka-debian.

Usage:

# install the kafka package
include kafka

# include common config
class { "kafka::config":
    zookeeper_hosts => ["zk1:2181", "zk2:2181", "zk3:2181"],
}

# start a kafka broker
class { "kafka::server":
    log_dir => "/var/lib/kafka",
}

If you do not set broker_id on kafka::server, the broker_id will be inferred from integers in the node's hostname. E.g. kafka01 will render server.properties with brokerid == 1.
