+1 binding. Checked the md5, and quick start.
Some minor comments: 1. The quickstart section would better include the building step after download and before starting server. 2. There seems to be a bug in Gradle 1.1x with Java 8 causing the "gradle" initialization to fail: --------- FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * Where: Build file '/home/guwang/Workspace/temp/kafka/build.gradle' line: 199 * What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'kafka'. > Could not create task of type 'ScalaDoc'. -------------- Downgrading Java to 1.7 resolve this issue.
