It was not obvious to me how to get kafka going.

pkg install kafka zookeeper
service zookeeper onestart
service kafka onestart

That's the bare minimum to start playing around.

alias kafka-console-producer /usr/local/share/java/kafka/bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092
alias kafka-console-consumer /usr/local/share/java/kafka/bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092
alias kafka-topics /usr/local/share/java/kafka/bin/kafka-topics.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092
 
sh: 
kafka-topics --create --topic lostandfound
kafka-topics --describe --topic lostandfound
kafka-console-producer --topic lostandfound
(wait for prompt and type some text)
kafka-topics --describe --topic lostandfound
kafka-console-consumer --topic lostandfound --from-beginning
