Yan, These are teething issues. I am quite stoked with the possibilities Samza brings to table. I really appreciate all the hand holding till now.
1. I am using the master branch - https://github.com/apache/incubator-samza-hello-samza this is whats present on .git/config [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = false logallrefupdates = true [remote "origin"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* url = https://github.com/apache/incubator-samza-hello-samza.git [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master 2. Yes. I do see messages in Kafka - I run $ deploy/kafka/bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic wikipedia-raw SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder". SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details. {"raw":"[[The Elder Scrolls Online]] M http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=606586804&oldid=606577107 * ESO Fan * (+0) ","time":1398926301271,"source":"rc-pmtpa","channel":"#en.wikipedia"} 3.
