kafka consumer to dynamically detect topics added

Question

I\'m using KafkaConsumer to consume messages from Kafka server (topics)..

• It works fine for topics created before starting Consumer code...

But

Answer 1

Here is the solution it worked for me by using KafkaConsumer api. Here is the Java code for it.

private static Consumer createConsumer(String topic) {
    final Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG,
            BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS);
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.GROUP_ID_CONFIG,
            "KafkaExampleConsumer");
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.AUTO_OFFSET_RESET_CONFIG, "earliest");
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.KEY_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG,
            StringDeserializer.class.getName());
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.VALUE_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG,
            StringDeserializer.class.getName());
    // Create the consumer using props.
    final Consumer consumer =
            new KafkaConsumer<>(props);
    // Subscribe to the topic.
    consumer.subscribe(Collections.singletonList(topic));
    return consumer;
}

public static void runConsumer(String topic) throws InterruptedException {
    final Consumer consumer = createConsumer(topic);

    ConsumerRecords records = consumer.poll(100);
    for (ConsumerRecord record : records)
        System.out.printf("hiiiii offset = %d, key = %s, value = %s%n", record.offset(), record.key(), record.value());
    consumer.commitAsync();
    consumer.close();
    //System.out.println("DONE");
}

using this we can consume the message from dynamically created topics.
