Answer 1

Image can be sent as byte array in message value. so your code will be changed as given.

props.put("value.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.ByteArraySerializer");

Answer 2

You can send an image by following these simple steps:

1) convert your image into bytes array ( by search for "how to get bytes of an image file )

2) change this line from :-

props.put("value.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");

to:-

props.put("value.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.ByteArraySerializer");

3) give your bytesarray of your image file

and, you are good to go.
