Yes. I know all of that. I guess my original message was not clear. The topic metadata indicates that there is a leader.
Please see my comments interspersed below. Thanks David Corbin On 10/29/15, 17:53, "Mayuresh Gharat" <gharatmayures...@gmail.com> wrote: > NotCoordinatorForConsumerException is for consumer side.

I am attempting to manage my offsets myself; that¹s why I called SimpleConsumer#fetchOffsets() which is throwing the exception. I assume you are not suggesting that my offset management should be done entirely ³outside the scope² of Kafka. If that is true, why do 4 of 3 methods on SimpleConsumer refer to offsets? > >TopicMetadata tells you whether there is a leader for the topic >partitions, >replicas, ISR. Yes. After I create the topic, I ³poll² the metadata until the one topic/partition has a leader, before moving on. If the metadata says there is a leader, I don¹t understand whyI would get NotCoordinatorForConsumerException > >Thanks, > >Mayuresh > >On Wed, Oct 28, 2015 at 8:23 AM, David Corbin <dcor...@lancope.com> wrote: > >> I'm working on a project that I hope to use the SimpleConsumer on.
