HI When my broker went down, my producer just stopped reading the file giving an exception saying "connection refused to kafka broker". I tried overcoming the exception by giving a try and catch ! BUT I'M SEEING DATA LOSS. What am I doing wrong ??? Please help
For reference : I'm using kafka 0.7.2 since my consumer is a storm spout and i read that storm is most compatible with kafka 0.7.2. IT DOESNT SUPPORT REPLICATION RIGHT?
