Hi Raju, Thanks for reporting the issue. There are two parts to ZK: client and server. I think your comments refer to the server logs, but you may also care about the ZK client events. In any case, I had a look at the script and the log4j properties in the Apache Kafka code base, and it does look like we should add some ZK configuration.
Note also that the Confluent Platform has a user group that you can check if the issue is specific to the platform. -Flavio > On 06 Nov 2015, at 09:50, Raju Bairishetti <raju....@gmail.com> wrote: > > Sorry, I have just realized that order of starting kafka server and > zookeeper does not matter as we are exporting the KAFKA_LOG4J_OPTS is > exported from both startup scripts.
