Running the EventProducer

To run the EventProducer, we follow these steps:

1. Create the events topic, as shown in the following block:

$. /bin/kafka-topics --zookeeper localhost:2181 --create --topic 
events --replication-factor 1 --partitions 4

2. Run a console consumer for the events topic using the following command:

$ ./bin/kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 
--topic events

3. From the IDE, run the main method of the EventProducer.

4. The output on the console consumer for the events topic should be similar to the following:
