Oh, quick follow up I created a kafka-topics.bat and ran it and noticed something hinke related to the topics description

From: Denny Lee <denny.g....@gmail.com> Date: Thursday, June 27, 2013 9:10 AM To: "users@kafka.apache.org" <users@kafka.apache.org> Subject: Kafka 0.8 on Windows issues While I was able to spin it up on OSX and Ubuntu without any issues, when running this on Windows, I get the following error message when I execute the consumer: WARN [console-consumer-8585_tardis8-1372348635138-29591e5d-leader-finder-thread], Failed to add fetcher for [test,0] to broker id:0,host:10.0.1.10,port:9092 (kafka.consumer.ConsumerFetcherManager$$anon$1) kafka.common.NotLeaderForPartitionException The consumer console ends up pushing out a lot of messages to the console where there is successful connection, fetching of metadata, the above warning, and then shutting down the thread and stopping. Anyone else run into a similar problem and by any chance have a solution? The steps I had followed were: - Grabbed the latest bits from github and ran sbt update, sbt package - Updated the %\kafka\bin\windows batch files so that they were pointing to the windows folder - Executed windows\zookeeper-server-start.bat from the %\kafka\bin folder - Executed windows\kafka-server-start.bat and windows\kafka-console-producer.bat and they appear to look okay - Then ran the windows\kafka-console-consumer.bat and it is apparent it is not connecting properly I've tried running this on Windows 8, Windows 2008 R2, and Windows 2012 as well as tried using a standalone zookeeper 3.4.5 but with no luck. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
