Is there a way to set up a Kafka client ? In java or python? Thanks

Diwa130, By doing an initial search I found this Python package that can be a client. https://pypi.org/project/kafka-python/ . I did try to install it on a 2152 with 2020.3 FW and it installed no problem I am not familiar with Java but I found this client on GitHub. https://github.com/apache/kafka

Hi, i think docker is here a good idea: https://github.com/PLCnext/Docker_GettingStarted When I search for docker containers for kafka there are many projects from users with examples.

You will have no problems with the Python version on the PLCnext build.
