2.1 Producer API

The Producer API allows applications to send streams of data to topics in the Kafka cluster.

Examples showing how to use the producer are given in the javadocs.

To use the producer, you can use the following maven dependency:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
            <artifactId>kafka-clients</artifactId>
            <version>2.7.0</version>
        </dependency>
