Ho do I test Kafka is working in HDP2.6?

[#1]

I am trying to do the procedure here, but /usr/hdp/current/kafka-broker is a broken link and kafka-topics.sh is nowhere to be found. HDP shows Kafka service running OK.

TIA!

@ed day When you say HDP shows Kafka service running OK, do you mean Ambari UI is showing broker service is running fine? Could you confirm on which host is the broker service running (on ambari you can click > Kafka > Summary tab > Broker link) ? Then you can open a shell console to that host and confirm the process is running by issuing

ps -ef | grep -i kafka

Maybe this helps you in finding from where exactly the kafka broker is started and maybe figuring where you can find the kafka-topics.sh

Duh! Of course it's a different machine! I'll check it in the morning. Thanks!!
