How does Kafka work on Hortonworks Docker Sandbox HDP for Oracle VM VirtualBox?

[#1]

Hello,

I have the Kafka Broker started on my Oracle VM VirtualBox. So, its there, I think. On another VM (an Ubuntu serer with Hortonworks Sandbox HDP) I see Kafka was installed under:

• /usr/hdp/current/kafka-broker/

However, I don’t see this on the Hortonworks Docker Sandbox HDP for Oracle VM VirtualBox.

On that other VM, I used to go to a bin directory and run commands like:

• bin/kafka-server-start.sh conf/server.properties
  
• bin/kafka-topics.sh
  
• bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh
  
• bin/kafka-console-producer.sh

These created topics, a consumer and a producer so Kafka would be streaming data.

Where on Hortonworks Docker Sandbox HDP for Oracle VM VirtualBox are these folders and commands for Kafka? Just looking for more information about how to use Kafka Hortonworks Docker Sandbox HDP.

How did you connect to the sandbox? Did you ssh to port 22? In that case try ssh to port 2222, as the sandbox is using docker inside, and the Hortonworks layer is only visible when connecting to port 2222.
