We recently upgraded kafka in our production environment cluster of 5 brokers from 0.8.0 to 0.8.2. Since then the consumerOffsetChecker script is unable to fetch offset due to kafka.common.NotCoordinatorForConsumerException. Note I'm able to run the 'consumerOffsetChecker' from an older version 0.8.0 successfully without any exceptions against the same upgraded cluster. Also we haven't migrated to kafka for offsets and are still using the default zookeeper. Another piece of information here is that kafka is always picking the same host as coordinator for fetching offset and we had to reimage that host just after the upgrade. Haven't been able to reproduce this in our test environments yet. Any clue what might be wrong here ? Let me know if more details are needed anywhere.
Thanks, Kartheek
