As you're working with Kafka, one of your teammates has asked for help with a strange problem. They're writing to a topic, known_phishing_urls using the following command:

echo "Test message" | bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic known_phshing_urls

However, when they use the following command to read the content, nothing shows up.

bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic known_phishing_urls --from-beginning --max-messages 1

What do you think is the reason this happens?
