To read records from a Kafka cluster using the consumer API in Java, you will need to follow these steps (written by OpenAI ChatGPT). Add the following dependency to your pom.xml file. Import the necessary Kafka classes in your Java file. Create a KafkaConsumer object by setting the necessary configuration properties. Subscribe to the topic you want to read from. Poll for new records using the poll() method of the KafkaConsumer object. Close the consumer when you are finished. That’s it! That’s how you read records from a Kafka cluster using the consumer API in Java.
