I am a newebee and just downloaded 0.8.2-beta following these instructions:
*> tar xzf kafka-<VERSION>.tgz**> cd kafka-<VERSION>**> ./sbt update**> ./sbt package* following this link : http://kafka.apache.org/07/quickstart.html when I try following : *> bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties* *Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerMain* Do I need to download and setup zookeeper separately.. I thought following lines in quick start guide mentioned that I do not need to : First start the zookeeper server. You can use the convenience script packaged with kafka to get a quick-and-dirty single-node zookeeper instance. Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
