This is mainly a question for a constantly changing development setup but this is the kind of things that can happen even in prod, whether we like it or not :) thanks, marc On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 12:10 PM, Neha Narkhede <neha.narkh...@gmail.com>wrote: > First launch the zookeeper cluster completely followed by the kafka > cluster. > > Thanks, > Neha > On May 22, 2013 8:43 AM, "Yu, Libo" <libo...@citi.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I want to launch kafka on three machines.
