Hi I'm going through the quick start and I'm running into an error where when I type in bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9093 --topic first
I get nothing back when I'm expecting a text input to send the message to the Kafka producer. I have followed the instructions for a single and multi-broker set up but it doesn't seem like anything is working. My Zookeeper is running and I see the log files created in the correct log directories but nothing regarding my message.
I have also tried piping it like so cat test.txt | bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9093 --topic first or echo test message | bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9093 --topic first
Is there any other gotchas I should check out for?
