I have to use kafka-client and read information from a cluster. I am using java here. </p> <p>The task is to connect to kafka-cluster, read the available topics and get the information about producers who contributed into those topics and consumers who have read from those topics. </p> <p>I am able to connect to cluster and read topics. But I am not able to find way to get producer and consumer information (even id's). I wasn't able to find any resource on this online. </p> <p>Note: I wont be creating either producers or consumers myself. I can do only Read operation.</p> <p>Thanks in Advance.</p> kafka kafkaclient beginners
