I started zookeeper and kafka from the downloaded package here: http://mirror.klaus-uwe.me/apache/kafka/2.4.0/kafka_2.13-2.4.0.tgz Then I tried with this: https://github.com/confluentinc/schema-registry
1.in one command prompt I start zookeeper after changing the folder in \config\zookeeper.properties - line:
dataDir=C:/KafkaConfl/zookeeper-data
(folder created by me)
2.changed also the config of the kafka server in the config\server.properties - line:
- log.dirs=c:\KafkaConfl\kafka-logs
start zookeeper in one cmd prompt:
.\bin\windows\zookeeper-server-start.bat .\config\zookeeper.properties
wait and start kafka server in another cmd prompt:
.\bin\windows\kafka-server-start.bat .\config\server.properties
try with the schema registry:
.\bin\windows\schema-registry-start.bat C:\kafkaconfl\etc\schema-registry.properties
Error: Could not find or load main class io.confluent.kafka.schemaregistry.rest.SchemaRegistryMain Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: io.confluent.kafka.schemaregistry.rest.SchemaRegistryMain Anybody with experience in Kafka / Windows can help, please?
