all, i am using kafka 0.9 with python-kafka v1.1.1. When i try to create a SimpleConsumer, it throws error as,
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kafka/consumer/simple.py", line 130, in __init__ auto_commit_every_t=auto_commit_every_t) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kafka/consumer/base.py", line 78, in __init__ self.fetch_last_known_offsets(partitions) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kafka/consumer/base.py", line 112, in fetch_last_known_offsets check_error(resp) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kafka/errors.py", line 389, in check_error raise response FailedPayloadsError Now, this information on the client side is insufficient. I want to see the server's request logs and analyze it. I checked in these files under logs dir. controller.log, kafka-request.log, server.log. But none of them shows any error/debug messages related to the above FailedPayloadsError. In config/log4j.properties, i have set logging at the highest level as log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout But still, why kafka doesn't log the request/response that it handles? thanks, saravana
