Hi, I am on Digi Ocean FYI and not dealing with the issue of private and public IP address. I killed all kafka servers and rebuilt but have the same zk cluster. One would think on kafka 0.8.2 that if I rebuild kafka, register with ZK all would be right with the world but guess not. I have new broker id's 1 and 2 where prior it was a random integer.
Here is my producer.properties file which is the same on both servers metadata.broker.list=104.xxx.xxx.xxx:9092,198.xxx.xxx.xxx:9092 producer.type=sync compression.codec=none serializer.class=kafka.serializer.DefaultEncoder So from the below...it looks to me that I have a clear leader. bin/kafka-topics.sh --describe --zookeeper xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2181 --topic topic-impression-production Topic:topic-impression-production PartitionCount:2 ReplicationFactor:2 Configs: Topic: topic-impression-production Partition: 0 Leader: 21729 Replicas: 25906,21729 Isr: 21729 Topic: topic-impression-production Partition: 1 Leader: 21729 Replicas: 21729,25906 Isr: 25906,21729 In zookeeper this is what I see in exhibitor: brokers ids 1 2 topics topic-impression-production partitions 0 state 1 state When i try and write I get the below. What am i missing? ubuntu@ubuntu:/var/kafka$ bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list 1xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9092 --topic topic-impression-production te[2016-01-08 18:38:19,530] WARN Property topic is not valid (kafka.utils.VerifiableProperties) stfadfad [2016-01-08 18:38:28,652] WARN Error while fetching metadata partition 0 leader: none replicas: isr: isUnderReplicated: false for topic partition [topic-impression-production,0]: [class kafka.common.LeaderNotAvailableException] (kafka.producer.BrokerPartitionInfo) [2016-01-08 18:38:28,653] WARN Error while fetching metadata partition 1 leader: none replicas: isr: isUnderReplicated: false for topic partition [topic-impression-production,1]: [class kafka.common.LeaderNotAvailableException] (kafka.producer.BrokerPartitionInfo)
