Hi,

I am new to using Kafka. I read all the documentations and followed the quickstart steps. I was able to run the sample kafka system. Looking through the Kafka directories extracted from the tar file, there are a lot of sub directories. I am wondering if they are all really needed to run kafka+zookeeper.  My guess is no. My usage model is to package really only the absolute necessary directories/files to run kafka along with our server products.  I looked through most of the documentations available on the wiki and couldn't find the information.  Can someone please shed some light in this respect? Thank you in advance for your time.

I believe the (bare minimum) runtime deps are: kafka, scala-library, zookeeper, and zkclient. Also snappy if you want snappy support.

HTH,
David

You just need the jars under core/ (after you do ./sbt update and ./sbt
package).

Thanks,
