Hi Chas, In terms of the consumer, you can also refer to the Kafka Consumer <https://github.com/apache/samza/blob/master/samza-kafka/src/main/scala/org/apache/samza/system/kafka/KafkaSystemConsumer.scala> , which will give you another view of how to implement the consumer. But I am very curious, why do you want to keep your own zookeeper connection and not use the Kafka consumer's?
In terms of the error, as Yi said, pasting the config will help.
