Thank you for your answers @Guozhang: I can't find the "ack value" in my console...
@Marc: I'm testing some stuff on 0.8 before migrating 0.7 to 0.8, that's why I'm killing it instead of controlled shutdown. @Jun: I create it using this command : *bin/kafka-create-topic.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replica 3 --partition 1 --topic my-replicated-topic* And here is the output of the list topic command: *topic: my-replicated-topic partition: 0 leader: 0 replicas: 0,2,1 isr: 0,1,2* I continued investigating on my own and here some others informations : - I use the *bin/kafka-server-start.sh *script to start the servers and I use the consumers and producers scripts in the bin/ - When I kill the leader, for about 5 seconds I receive java exception error in my consumers consoles and if i try to send message through the producers console, I also have java exception. Furthermore, all the messages I send during that time through the producers never reach the consumers, even after the "5 seconds" - When the "5 seconds" is over, the link is "repaired" and all the news messages reach their destinations (not those within the "5 seconds") On Wed, Dec 18, 2013 at 12:16 AM, Jun Rao <jun...@gmail.com> wrote: > What's the replication factor of the topic?
