chetanmeh opened a new pull request #4628: Embedded Kafka support in OpenWhisk 
Standalone mode
URL: https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/pull/4628
 
 
   Adds support for launching Embedded Kafka and Kafka Drop UI
   
   ## Description
   
   This PR adds support for launching an [embedded-kafka][1]. This is mostly 
meant to enable local development for features which need Kafka support (like 
User Event or Activation Persister Service etc). In this mode an inprocess 
Kafka Server (v2.1.1 currently) and Zookeeper Server
   
   ```
   java -jar openwhisk-standalone.jar --kafka
   ```
   
   Key aspects
   
   * Kafka version 2.1.1 is being used while we run with 0.11.0.1. Tried to use 
that but then it causes class compatability issue with newer version of Kafka 
client being used
   * This mode is also useful to simulate some of the integration test 
scenarios with Activation Persister Service
   * Kafka Server launched is supporting connection from both host and within 
Docker container based on [kafka listeners explanation][3]
   * Kafka and Zookeeper generated files are stored in 
`~/.openwhisk/standalone/server-3233/tmp` and are removed upon restart
   
   Once launched you can see the details of port used etc as below
   
   ```
   [ 9092  ] localhost:9092 (kafka)
   [ 9092  ] 192.168.65.2:9091 (kafka-docker)
   [ 2181  ] Zookeeper (zookeeper)
   [ 9000  ] http://localhost:9000 (whisk-kafka-drop-ui)
   ``` 
   
   ### Kafka Ui - Kafdrop 3 
   This PR also adds support for launching an optional [Kafdrop 3][2]
   
   ```
   java -jar openwhisk-standalone.jar --kafka --kafka-ui
   ```
   
   This UI can help a developer to understand the structure of messages 
exchanged on various topics easily
