I want to try kafka 0.8 (as I understand it is already released). But where can I find the kafka maven repository.
And what additional repository url should I add?
Even though this is already answered, I think future readers might benefit from a complete simple example that works out of the box. I put one together here > https://github.com/buildlackey/cep
Like the o.p., I have been fighting to find a Maven pom.xml recipe that will allow me to pull in an official version of Kafka from a public Maven repository. I did manage to get my example working, but for now I have had to hack my dependencies so that the version of Kafka I use is pulled from a work-in-progress version of a storm-kafka integration project. I'm concerned the 'wip' versions below will be deprecated. Then this project will lose its dependencies and fail to build properly. Also, I really shouldn't be introducing storm for this simple Kafka example at this point in any case.
storm storm 0.9.0-wip17 storm storm-core 0.9.0-wip17 storm storm-kafka 0.9.0-wip16a-scala292
If someone could provide me with a patch for 'the right way' to do this with Maven I will update my project accordingly.... Hopefully it will serve as a useful resource for other beginning Kafka developers.
