Hi, While setting up a cluster, I realised that Kafka uses host names to communicate between brokers. In my case, I don't have a DNS server to keep track of host names, and set up the host names manually. Because of this, brokers cannot connect to each other.
This behaviour can be easily fixed by changing advertised.host.name in config, though I am curious why not advertise the IP address instead of host name in general.
