Apache Kafka Consumer - terminate from console

I am new to Apache Kafka and I am trying to consume messages from a topic. I ran the following from the console to see the messages:

bin\windows\kafka-console-consumer.bat --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic test --from-beginning

But after that I could see a consumer being created called "console-consumer-4158" and I accidentally closed the console.

How to terminate the running consumer?

  1. the process itself will be stopped after you terminate consumer.
  2. as you are using old consumer API, groupId (console-consumer-4158) + information about consumed offsets are stored in zookeeper. There is no process that automatically delete not-used groups ( see more)
