# Tutorial: Load streaming data from Kafka
## Getting started
This tutorial demonstrates how to load data from a Kafka stream, using the Druid Kafka indexing service.
For this tutorial, we'll assume you've already downloaded Druid as described in
the [single-machine quickstart](index.html) and have it running on your local machine. You
don't need to have loaded any data yet.
## Download and start Kafka
[Apache Kafka](http://kafka.apache.org/) is a high throughput message bus that works well with
Druid. For this tutorial, we will use Kafka 0.10.2.0. To download Kafka, issue the following
commands in your terminal:
```bash
curl -O https://archive.apache.org/dist/kafka/0.10.2.0/kafka_2.11-0.10.2.0.tgz
tar -xzf kafka_2.11-0.10.2.0.tgz
cd kafka_2.11-0.10.2.0
```
Start a Kafka broker by running the following command in a new terminal:
```bash
./bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties
```
Run this command to create a Kafka topic called *wikipedia*, to which we'll send data:
```bash
./bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic wikipedia
```
## Enable Druid Kafka ingestion
We will use Druid's Kafka indexing service to ingest messages from our newly created *wikipedia* topic. To start the
service, we will need to submit a supervisor spec to the Druid overlord by running the following from the Druid package root:
```bash
curl -XPOST -H'Content-Type: application/json' -d @quickstart/tutorial/wikipedia-kafka-supervisor.json http://localhost:8090/druid/indexer/v1/supervisor
```
If the supervisor was successfully created, you will get a response containing the ID of the supervisor; in our case we should see `{"id":"wikipedia-kafka"}`.
For more details about what's going on here, check out the
[Druid Kafka indexing service documentation](../development/extensions-core/kafka-ingestion.html).
## Load data
Let's launch a console producer for our topic and send some data!
In your Druid directory, run the following command:
```bash
cd quickstart
gunzip -k wikipedia-2015-09-12-sampled.json.gz
```
In your Kafka directory, run the following command, where {PATH_TO_DRUID} is replaced by the path to the Druid directory:
```bash
export KAFKA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"
./bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic wikipedia < {PATH_TO_DRUID}/quickstart/wikipedia-2015-09-12-sampled.json
```
The previous command posted sample events to the *wikipedia* Kafka topic which were then ingested into Druid by the Kafka indexing service. You're now ready to run some queries!
## Querying your data
After data is sent to the Kafka stream, it is immediately available for querying.
Please follow the [query tutorial](../tutorials/tutorial-query.html) to run some example queries on the newly loaded data.
## Cleanup
If you wish to go through any of the other ingestion tutorials, you will need to shut down the cluster and reset the cluster state by removing the contents of the `var` directory under the druid package, as the other tutorials will write to the same "wikipedia" datasource.
