By using HDF 3.0 in VMware, how can I feed local .csv files from PC to it and pass it to Kafka Producer/Topic?

[#1]

Hi Guys,

I just starting exploring Kafka using Docker. Today I have installed VMware version of HDF 3.0 and I am wondering whether it is possible to practice Kafka using some local files I am generating (.csv files stored in local file system - eg c:\temp\) by feeding them to Kafka Producer?

If so, could you provide some newbie guide on how to achieve this? I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

You need to setup 'shared folder' between sandbox and windows on VMware.

And then refer this link for Kafka Producer

I will give it a try, thank you.
