Thanks, Todd. It's still not working unfortunately. This results in nothing getting printed to the console and requires kill -9 in another window to stop (ctrl-c doesn't work):
/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --zookeeper <zkhost> --topic __consumer_offsets --formatter kafka.coordinator.GroupMetadataManager\$OffsetsMessageFormatter This results in a stack trace because it can't find the class: ./kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --zookeeper <zkhost> --topic __consumer_offsets --formatter kafka.server.OffsetManager\$OffsetsMessageFormatter Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: kafka.server.OffsetManager$OffsetsMessageFormatter I'm on 0.9.0.1. "broker-list" is invalid and zookeeper is required regardless of the bootstrap-server parameter.
