Actually I figured out what the problem was. My producer was using a
partitioner which was causing a null pointer exception. This actually
raises another question for me. I want some state in my partitioner and the
only constructor that Kafka seems to use is this one:

public MyPartitioner(VerifiableProperties props) {}

How do I inject an object here that I can use to decide what partition my
messages should go to? As an ugly hack I am using a static variable from
somewhere else.
