I have worked with this Jmeter jar file (KafkaProducer.Sampler). Using this I was able to publish the message to the Topic but now..

I am trying to find the Jmeter jar file (for KafkaConsumer), which will help me consume the message from the Topic.
Is there an existing jar available

I am not pretty sure about that it is available in jmeter. I searched for the same and ended up in developing our own.

According to step 7 above, how could I generate another class name to be appeared in the drop down for a Java Request ?
