Go to the [http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html](Apache Kafka homepage) and follow the quick start guide to create a topic. I created a topic called 'multiply'
./consumer --brokers=localhost:9092 --topic=multiply --op=*
./consumer --brokers=localhost:9092 --topic=multiply --op=-
./consumer --brokers=localhost:9092 --topic=multiply --op=/
./consumer --brokers=localhost:9092 --topic=multiply --op=+
./producer --brokers=localhost:9092 --topic=multiply
x y: 3 4
=> 3 * 4 = 12
