kafka producer using Rest API

Question

We are trying to build a data-torrent application using kafka as a source that will consume messages from web UI using REST. Can someone provide a good documentation or some steps how to setup kafka produce using java REST API ?

Thanks

Check out kafka-rest.

It will let you produce messages to a Kafka topic with a REST API in JSON or Avro. It is in Java and you may be able to use it out-of-the-box if you don't have special requirements.
