Kafka 0.8 works great. I am able to use CLI as well as write my own
producers/consumers!

Checking Zookeeper... and I see all the topics and partitions created
successfully for 0.8.

Kafka 0.7 does not work!

Why Kafka 0.7? I am using Kafka Spout from Storm which is made for Kafka
0.7.

First I just want to run CLI based producer/consumer for Kafka 0.7, which I
am unable to. I carry out the following steps:

1)  I delete all the topics/partitions etc. in Zookeeper that were
created from my Kafka 0.8
2)  I change the dataDir in zoo.cfg to point to different location.
3)  Now I start the kafka server 0.7. It starts successfully. However
I don’t know why it again registers the broker topics I deleted?
4)  Now I start the Kafka Producer :
bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic topicime
& it starts successfully:
[2013-06-28 14:06:05,521] INFO zookeeper state changed (SyncConnected)
(org.I0Itec.zkclient.ZkClient)
[2013-06-28 14:06:05,606] INFO Creating async producer for broker id =
0 at 0:0 (kafka.producer.ProducerPool)
5)  Time to send some messages & oops I get this error:
[2013-06-28 14:07:19,650] INFO Disconnecting from 0:0

Note that Zookeeper is already running.

Any help would really be appreciated.

*EDIT:*

I don't even see the topic being created in zookeeper. I am running the
following command:

bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic topicime

After the command everything is fine & I get the following message:

[2013-06-28 14:30:17,614] INFO Session establishment complete on
server localhost/127.0.0.1:2181, sessionid = 0x13f805c6673004b,

However now when i type a string to send I get the above error (Connection
refused!)
