Alternate for polling Kafka server -

is there alternate kafka server polling consumer/client (in kafka 0.10.0.0)?

kafkaconsumer<string, string> consumer = new kafkaconsumer<>(props); consumer.subscribe(arrays.aslist("foo", "bar"));    while (true) {       consumerrecords<string, string> records = consumer.poll(100);       (consumerrecord<string, string> record : records)           system.out.printf("offset = %d, key = %s, value = %s", record.offset(), record.key(), record.value());    } 

no. brokers in kafka passive , clients need pull data there (a push model not supported).

the poll loop example recommended. see http://docs.confluent.io/3.0.0/clients/consumer.html#java-client
