Hi, I'm running a Kafka cluster with 3 nodes. I have a topic with a replication factor of 3. When I stop node 1 running kafka-topics.sh shows me that node 2 and 3 have successfully failed over the partitions for the topic.
The message producers are still sending messages and I can still consume them using kafka-console-consumer.sh However my 0.9.0.1 Java consumer stops consuming messages. ( I thought maybe it was rebalancing but after an hour nothing) The consumer logs simply contains lots of "Marking the coordinator 8147683647 dead." If I start node 1 up the consumers detect this and start to consume messages again. On startup of the consumers I can see that all three nodes are listed in the "bootstrap.servers". Any idea whats wrong with the Java consumer? Thanks for any help or pointers in the right direction. Michael
