What is a producer in Kafka Cluster

Question

Hi Guys,

I am new to Kafka. I want to know about Kafka producer. Can anyone explain to me about Kafka producer?

Hi@akhtar,

The Kafka producer is conceptually much simpler than the consumer since it has no need for group coordination. A producer partitioner maps each message to a topic partition, and the producer sends a produce request to the leader of that partition.
