This component of the Kafka Learning Project is responsible for producing and sending frames to the Kafka cluster. It acts as the data source for the Kafka ecosystem, enabling real-time data processing and analysis.
The Kafka Producer is designed to:
- Read frames from a specified source.
- Serialize the frames for transmission.
- Send the serialized frames to designated Kafka topics within the cluster.
- Frame Reading: Efficiently reads frames from various sources.
- Serialization: Converts frames into a format suitable for Kafka transmission.
- High Throughput: Optimized for sending large volumes of data quickly and reliably.
- Apache Kafka must be installed and running.
- Ensure the Kafka cluster is properly configured and accessible.
- Configure the producer settings in
config.json:- Specify the Kafka broker addresses.
- Set the target Kafka topics for frame transmission.
