Hi, We are currently evaluating Kafka, so I'm trying to get one of our simple use case working. I have read the design paper and most of everything else I could find about Kafka, but I'm not sure how to set up a producer that tails files or that reads from STDIN.
Do I have to write custom code just for that? It seems like a pretty simple/common use case, so I would think it already exists out of the box. I guess I could pipe a tail command into bin/kafka-producer-shell.sh ?? This kind of stuff is relatively easy to set up with Flume, but we like the persistence and replay capabilities of Kafka, which is why we are trying it out. Thanks in advance for helping out a newb ;) ! -- Felix
