                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-130
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 0.6
            Reporter: Felix GV
            Priority: Minor


It would be useful to provide a default producer we can fire up that reads from 
STDIN and sends one message per line to the broker.

The most obvious use case for this is to pipe a tail -f command into it, to 
tail log files as they're generated. Making it depend on STDIN seems more 
flexible than a producer that just tails files though.
