Hi Kafka Users I am new to streams in spring xd and trying to consumer data from a topic. I downloaded the spring xd single node on my laptop and ran the following command:
1. stream create myKafka --definition "kafka --zkconnect=localhost:2181 --topic=mytopic | log" --deploy I did not see the log where it deployed. I checked under/tmp and /xd/logs I did not find any. Where do I need to look for log. Saw in C:\tmp\kafka-logs\myKafka-kafka-offsets-0 but was not sure how to read this log. I did more and filename but it was unreadable file. 2. stream create myKafkaFile --definition "kafka --zkconnect=localhost:2181 --topic=mytopic | file" --deploy Tried this statement then got the numbers format of file under /tmp/xd/output. Tried adding stream create myKafkaFile --definition "kafka --zkconnect=localhost:2181 --topic=mytopic | file --outputType=text/plain" --deploy and stream create myKafkaFile --definition "kafka --zkconnect=localhost:2181 --topic=msi_client_topic | file --mode=ref --dir=/tmp/xd/output --pattern=*.txt" --deploy and --binary=false but was throwing error and did not deploy my stream. I have JSON String in topic, Can any one please help with this to read as a JSON string instead of numbers. Thanks Sowjanya
