Consul service for discovering Kafka servers #6

Closed felipe-conde-benavides closed 6 years ago

felipe-conde-benavides commented 6 years ago

It has been added a new optional functionality for allowing to use a Consul service for discovering the available Kafka servers.

This new functionality requires a new Consul client library (added in pom.xml file), and two new properties in the configuration file (consul.server.url and consul.kafka.servicename):

New library from: https://github.com/rickfast/consul-client

Example of new properties:

# Consul server URL (including protocol: http/https) consul.server.url=http://localhost:8500

# Consul service name for filtering the Kafka service consul.kafka.servicename=kafka

If these two variable exist and the Consul service respond some valid information, and only in this case, the retrieved information will overwrite the previous existing property called bootstrap.servers.
