This tool helps to read data from standard input and publish it to Kafka.
Option Description
------ -----------
--batch-size <Integer: size> The buffer size in bytes allocated for
a partition. When records are
received which are smaller than this
size the producer will attempt to
optimistically group them together
until this size is reached. This is
the option to control batch.size in
producer configs. Please note that
this option will be replaced if max-
partition-memory-bytes is also set.
(default: 16384)
--bootstrap-server <String: server to REQUIRED: The server(s) to connect to.
connect to> The broker list string in the form
HOST1:PORT1,HOST2:PORT2.
--command-config <String: config file> Producer config properties file. Note
that [command-property] takes
precedence over this config.
--command-property <String: Producer config properties in the form
producer_prop> key=value.
--compression-codec [String: The compression codec: either 'none',
compression-codec] 'gzip', 'snappy', 'lz4', or 'zstd'.
If specified without value, then it
defaults to 'gzip'
--help Print usage information.
--line-reader <String: reader_class> The class name of the class to use for
reading lines from standard in. By
default each line is read as a
separate message. (default: org.
apache.kafka.tools.LineMessageReader)
--max-block-ms <Long: max block on The max time that the producer will
send> block for during a send request.
(default: 60000)
--max-memory-bytes <Long: total memory The total memory used by the producer
in bytes> to buffer records waiting to be sent
to the server. This is the option to
control `buffer.memory` in producer
configs. (default: 33554432)
--max-partition-memory-bytes <Integer: (Deprecated) The buffer size in bytes
memory in bytes per partition> allocated for a partition. When
records are received which are
smaller than this size the producer
will attempt to optimistically group
them together until this size is
reached. This is the option to
control batch.size in producer
configs. This option will be removed
in Apache Kafka 5.0. Use --batch-
size instead. (default: 16384)
--message-send-max-retries <Integer> Brokers can fail receiving the message
for multiple reasons, and being
unavailable transiently is just one
of them. This property specifies the
number of retries before the
producer give up and drop this
message. This is the option to
control `retries` in producer
configs. (default: 3)
--metadata-expiry-ms <Long: metadata The period of time in milliseconds
expiration interval> after which we force a refresh of
metadata even if we haven't seen any
leadership changes. This is the
option to control `metadata.max.age.
ms` in producer configs. (default:
300000)
--producer-property <String: (DEPRECATED) Producer config
producer_prop> properties in the form key=value.
This option will be removed in a
future version. Use --command-
property instead.
--producer.config <String: config file> (DEPRECATED) Producer config
properties file. Note that [command-
property] takes precedence over this
config. This option will be removed
in a future version. Use --command-
config instead.
--property <String: prop> (DEPRECATED) A mechanism to pass user-
defined properties in the form
key=value to the message reader.
This allows custom configuration for
a user-defined message reader.
Default properties include:
parse.key=false
parse.headers=false
ignore.error=false
key.separator=\t
headers.delimiter=\t
headers.separator=,
headers.key.separator=:
null.marker= When set, any fields
(key, value and headers) equal to
this will be replaced by null
Default parsing pattern when:
parse.headers=true and parse.key=true:
"h1:v1,h2:v2...\tkey\tvalue"
parse.key=true:
"key\tvalue"
parse.headers=true:
"h1:v1,h2:v2...\tvalue"
This option will be removed in a
future version. Use --reader-
property instead.
--reader-config <String: config file> Config properties file for the message
reader. Note that [reader-property]
takes precedence over this config.
--reader-property <String: prop> A mechanism to pass user-defined
properties in the form key=value to
the message reader. This allows
custom configuration for a user-
defined message reader.
Default properties include:
parse.key=false
parse.headers=false
ignore.error=false
key.separator=\t
headers.delimiter=\t
headers.separator=,
headers.key.separator=:
null.marker= When set, any fields
(key, value and headers) equal to
this will be replaced by null
Default parsing pattern when:
parse.headers=true and parse.key=true:
"h1:v1,h2:v2...\tkey\tvalue"
parse.key=true:
"key\tvalue"
parse.headers=true:
"h1:v1,h2:v2...\tvalue"
--request-required-acks <String: The required `acks` of the producer
request required acks> requests (default: -1)
--request-timeout-ms <Integer: request The ack timeout of the producer
timeout ms> requests. Value must be non-negative
and non-zero. (default: 1500)
--retry-backoff-ms <Long> Before each retry, the producer
refreshes the metadata of relevant
topics. Since leader election takes
a bit of time, this property
specifies the amount of time that
the producer waits before refreshing
the metadata. This is the option to
control `retry.backoff.ms` in
producer configs. (default: 100)
--socket-buffer-size <Integer: size> The size of the tcp RECV size. This is
the option to control `send.buffer.
bytes` in producer configs.
(default: 102400)
--sync If set message send requests to the
brokers are synchronously, one at a
time as they arrive.
--timeout <Long: timeout_ms> If set and the producer is running in
asynchronous mode, this gives the
maximum amount of time a message
will queue awaiting sufficient batch
size. The value is given in ms. This
is the option to control `linger.ms`
in producer configs. (default: 1000)
--topic <String: topic> REQUIRED: The topic name to produce
messages to.
--version Display Kafka version.
