I have setup Kafka on Amazon EC2 instance.
I have done the following in below order: (1) SSH into the Instance (2) Start Zookeper (3) Start Kafka (4) Execute Producer and Consumer Programs.
Everything is working fine till here. However once I close the SSH window on which I have started Kafka, the Kafka service stops. I can no longer execute Producer and Consumer programs.
How can I have the Kafka Server permanently up for all requests, even after I close the SSH window.
Thank You.

However, you can install and run Kafka without Zookeeper. In this case, instead of storing all the metadata inside Zookeeper, all the Kafka configuration data will be stored as a separate partition within Kafka itself.
Kafka requires a Zookeeper server in order to run, so the first thing we need to do is start a Zookeeper instance.
This is now officially supported in kafka and zookeeper startup scripts. So if you are on latest (Since Aug 2015) kafka you can use -daemon as follows.
# ./kafka-server-start.sh USAGE: ./kafka-server-start.sh [-daemon] server.properties # ./zookeeper-server-start.sh USAGE: ./zookeeper-server-start.sh [-daemon] zookeeper.properties Try bin/kafka-server-start.sh -daemon config/server.properties.
OR:
Try upstart script here:upstart script for kafka
