Finally, we can test our Kafka installation by creating a test topic as follows:
> bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper 192.168.56.10:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic our-first-topic $ Created topic "our-first-topic".> bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper 192.168.56.10:2181 $ our-first-topic
