Am trying to get started on Kafka and following instructions on http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#quickstart. Am setting up on a single broker. I got as far as creating topics and listing them, but when I try kafka-console-producer.sh to add messages, I ended up in below error.
[2015-10-28 14:14:46,140] WARN Property topic is not valid (kafka.utils.VerifiableProperties). My google searches generally hinted that I should set the right value for “advertised.host.name”, But setting that has no effect. Any help overcoming this will be appreciated. Am running version kafka_2.11-0.8.2.1.tgz on OS X. Regards, Sathya
