Getting Kafka error- java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: org.springframework.kafka.core.KafkaProducerException: Failed to send - spring-boot

Question

I am getting the error in Kafka. While sending the message on the topic
Here is the code for sending message on topic.
#Override
public void sendMessage(User user) {
ListenableFuture<SendResult<String, Object>> future = kafkaTemplate.send(user);
future.addCallback(new ListenableFutureCallback<SendResult<String, Object>>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(SendResult<String, Object> result) {
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Throwable e) {
}
});
try {
future.get();
} catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
throw new SystemException("Error sending message to topic " + channelConfiguration.getTopic(), e);
**Getting following error here**
}
}

Does anyone knows about this?

Answer 1

Topic user_event not present in metadata after 60000 ms.
Do you have the topic user_event?
If not you need to create it or else configure Kafka admin to create topic automatically.
