How can I use “MQTT protocol with Kafka as a broker”?

Question

I want to implement a chat application which uses "MQTT protocol" in order to send messages from the device(Android phone). I need a "Kafka broker" which would run on the server and listen to these messages. For this, I need an MQTT proxy, but even after googling a lot I could not find any open source MQTT proxy . Please suggest if there is an open source MQTT proxy. And if not, then, is it possible to implement one of my own?

Answer 1

There is an MQTT Proxy from Confluent , but it is not open source. You can use it free against a single broker, or 30-day trial for a cluster of more than one broker.
