where can I find maven repository for kafka?

Question

I want to try kafka 0.8 (as I understand it is already released). But where can I find the kafka maven repository.

And what additional repository url should I add?

I've found some blogs with

 <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
    <artifactId>kafka_2.8.0</artifactId>
    <version>0.8.0-SHA</version>
 </dependency>

but it is not works. I'm looking for proper maven dependency. Or should I checkout it from git and deploy in our internal artifactory?

Answer 1

UPDATE

Since November 2013 official Kafka releases can be found on public Maven repository , the latest version in March 2015 being 0.8.2.1 :

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
  <artifactId>kafka_2.10</artifactId>
  <version>0.8.2.1</version>
</dependency>

If you created the not.released:kafka artifact detailed below any more you can remove it from the local repository.

Original Answer

Kafka is not released yet to a public Maven repository, but you can add it to your local Maven repository by hand with the install-file command :

mvn install:install-file -Dpackaging=jar -DgroupId=not.released
    -DartifactId=kafka -Dversion=0.8.0 -Dfile=kafka.jar

The command line above expects kafka.jar file in the current working directory. Once installed you can use it with:

<dependency>
  <groupId>not.released</groupId>
  <artifactId>kafka</artifactId>
  <version>0.8.0</version>
</dependency>

Once they release Kafka you can just change the dependency in your POMs and remove / uninstall this file from your local repository.

As of December 2013, Kafka 0.8 Final was released and is available under the following definition:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
  <artifactId>kafka_2.10</artifactId>
  <version>0.8.0</version>
</dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
        <artifactId>kafka_2.9.2</artifactId>
        <version>0.8.0-beta1</version>
    </dependency>

Even though this is already answered, I think future readers might benefit from a complete simple example that works out of the box. I put one together here > https://github.com/buildlackey/cep

Like the op, I have been fighting to find a Maven pom.xml recipe that will allow me to pull in an official version of Kafka from a public Maven repository. I did manage to get my example working, but for now I have had to hack my dependencies so that the version of Kafka I use is pulled from a work-in-progress version of a storm-kafka integration project. I'm concerned the 'wip' versions below will be deprecated. Then this project will lose its dependencies and fail to build properly. Also, I really shouldn't be introducing storm for this simple Kafka example at this point in any case.

storm
        storm
        0.9.0-wip17
    
    
        storm
        storm-core
        0.9.0-wip17
    
    
        storm
        storm-kafka
        0.9.0-wip16a-scala292

If someone could provide me with a patch for 'the right way' to do this with Maven I will update my project accordingly.... Hopefully it will serve as a useful resource for other beginning Kafka developers.
