bjustin-ibm commented on issue #210: How to use message feed URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-package-kafka/issues/210#issuecomment-321523192 Please keep in mind that this feed provider (the code in this repo) interacts with an external service - either a Message Hub instance or generic Kafka cluster. This feed provider cannot work without having the external service created and in working order. Following the [README](https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-package-kafka/blob/master/README.md) and running the example commands (which only have example parameter values) will almost definitely not work without being changed so that the parameter values match your specific instance of Kafka or Message Hub. I suggest you first become familiar with Kafka and/or Message Hub before attempting to run this software. > Should I register a new account on the local host for message hub? Message Hub is the name of a service hosted in IBM Bluemix. It is essentially Bluemix-hosted Kafka, and is not something you can run locally. Please see the following for details: https://developer.ibm.com/messaging/message-hub/ > Should I start up the catalog_kafkatrigger container before create the trigger ? if do and how to start up that container? Yes, if you are trying to build and run your own instance of the feed provider service, please carefully follow this development guide: https://github.com/bjustin-ibm/openwhisk-package-kafka/blob/1aa6ae1684930d5175fa0ce36886b2e7db123248/devGuide.md However, please be sure you have a working Kafka or Message Hub instance created, configured, tested, and working before attempting this. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
