Hello folks, As a course I'm involved with has us using the quickstart on the kafka website, it seems that the instructions for creating a topic are in need of an update. As they are currently written, a user will receive an error on linux stating that they are missing required parameter --partitions. If they add that, they will then receive an error stating that the command is missing required parameter --replications-factor. After that the command still won't work unless the --topic <topic name> is in the last position from my experience.
It was mentioned that the latest version of Kafka deprecates the need for Java 8 and yet the quickstart instructions state that users will need Java 8. Can someone explain to me in what usage Java 8 is deprecated as the two statements seem at odd with each other. Matthew Glassman
