Setting Up and Running Apache Kafka on Windows OS

Introduction

This article is all about configuring and starting an Apache Kafka server on a Windows OS. This guide will also provide instructions to set up Java and Apache Zookeeper.

Apache Kafka is a fast and scalable messaging queue, capable of handling heavy loads in context of read and write, i.e. IO-related, stuff. You can find more about Kafka on http://kafka.apache.org/. Apache Kafka requires a running Zookeeper instance, which is used for reliable distributed coordination. Please find more about Zookeeper on https://zookeeper.apache.org/.
