I have noticed some strange patterns when testing with the 0.8.1 build and
the 0.8.2 builds, and are listed below.
1. So I setup a brand new cluster [3 kafka nodes with 3 zookeepers],
created 2 topics via the API calls, everything went fine and was
successfully able to view my messages in my consumers. There were no
messages lost. All is happy. Now, I change my setup to just have 1
zookeeper. and do my test again, i lose some messages. I have checked that
all my configs are pointing to just 1 zookeeper and there was no mention of
the other 2 offline zookeepers. any idea why ?
2. I revert back my settings to the original config, all 3 nodes are
online, no errors, send messages to same old topic, and i am still loosing
some messages. I deleted all the old topic files [to follow the 'cleanup'
process], create a new topic, and i am successfully able to receive all
messages. no loss whatsoever.
3. Now in this state, i upgrade to 0.8.2, and try sending messages to the
topic that was made after the above cleanup, and i am losing messages
again.

Am i making sense? I mean this is a very strange behavior, and if anyone
can comment on this [please correct me if i have done something 'very'
wrong]..

Thanks..
