Kafka Consumer connection issue

[Gaurav Sehgal]

Hi,
    I keep getting the folllowing error in Kafka.

2014-01-14 10:46:55:073 SyncProducer [ERROR] Producer connection to <my ip
address>:9092 unsuccessful
java.nio.channels.ClosedByInterruptException

What could be the workaround for this ? I have had the same configuration
for Kafka and have been running it in the setup for the past few months
though this just started appearing.

I am using kafka version 0.80

Cheers!
