LeaderNotAvailableException

[Yu, Libo]

Hi,

I have 3 machines on a cluster. Normally, I start zookeepers on all three
before I launch kafka servers. Today for each machine I start zookeeper
first and then kafka server. I noticed this error from one machine:
The process was  still running but it seems the server stopped responding.
I published some data to the cluster. As soon as the producer connected
to this broker, it disconnected.
