Hello, So I am currently working on learning Samza for work and there is a question that I am looking for some direction through. In a Kafka Consumer/Producer in order to connect to ZooKeeper you can simply do so through a localhost port configuration and that creates a static connection for a topic. Through the Hello Samza example the connection to a stream is done through and IRC Channel. I understand the function and requirement of a StreamTask in Samza in order to connect to a System Stream, however I am a little confused on the proper configuration of connecting to a local Zookeeper in order to consume and produce data across a stream.
My understanding is that the actually connection to the SystemStream is specifically taking place in the StreamTask so I am assuming that the configuration would take place in the main class however I don't quite understand how the connection works through the main function. For example, the Wikipedia example holds the main function in the WikipediaFeed class, separate from the StreamTask. Any direction or assistance would be greatly appreciative as this is my first time working with this type of technology. Thank you. -Chas
