Kafka REST Proxy 4.0.0

The Kafka REST Proxy provides a RESTful interface to MapR-ES clusters to consume and produce messages and to perform administrative operations.

It allows you to:

Consume messages from topics or concrete topic partitions.
Produce messages to topics or partitions.
View the state of the cluster.

Use cases include ingesting messages into a stream processing framework and scripting administrative operations.

NOTE: The Kafka REST Proxy can be subscribed only once and only for a single topic.
