Neha Narkhede commented on KAFKA-1618: -------------------------------------- [~gwenshap] The tools that ship with Kafka are also used by many users on production clusters. More often than not, each deployment customizes the Kafka port. It is true that the out-of-the-box experience is improved though. I'm fine with defaulting as well, as long as the error message of guessing the wrong port is clear and the tool exits if that happens. > Exception thrown when running console producer with no port number for the > broker > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1618 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1618 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1 > Reporter: Gwen Shapira > Assignee: BalajiSeshadri > Labels: newbie > Fix For: 0.8.2 > > Attachments: KAFKA-1618-ALL.patch, KAFKA-1618.patch > > > When running console producer with just "localhost" as the broker list, I get > ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception. > I expect either a clearer error about arguments or for the producer to > "guess" a default port. > [root@shapira-1 bin]# ./kafka-console-producer.sh --topic rufus1 > --broker-list localhost > java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1 > at > kafka.client.ClientUtils$$anonfun$parseBrokerList$1.apply(ClientUtils.scala:102) > at > kafka.client.ClientUtils$$anonfun$parseBrokerList$1.apply(ClientUtils.scala:97) > at > scala.collection.TraversableLike$$anonfun$map$1.apply(TraversableLike.scala:244) > at > scala.collection.TraversableLike$$anonfun$map$1.apply(TraversableLike.scala:244) > at > scala.collection.mutable.ResizableArray$class.foreach(ResizableArray.scala:59) > at scala.collection.mutable.ArrayBuffer.foreach(ArrayBuffer.scala:47) > at scala.collection.TraversableLike$class.map(TraversableLike.scala:244) > at scala.collection.AbstractTraversable.map(Traversable.scala:105) > at kafka.client.ClientUtils$.parseBrokerList(ClientUtils.scala:97) > at > kafka.producer.BrokerPartitionInfo.<init>(BrokerPartitionInfo.scala:32) > at > kafka.producer.async.DefaultEventHandler.<init>(DefaultEventHandler.scala:41) > at kafka.producer.Producer.<init>(Producer.scala:59) > at kafka.producer.ConsoleProducer$.main(ConsoleProducer.scala:158) > at kafka.producer.ConsoleProducer.main(ConsoleProducer.scala) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
