I am running kafka in a EC2 server. While running if there is a sudden restart of server, and then we restart the kafka broker, we can't find the details of all the topics.
bin/kafka-topics.sh --describe --zookeeper <hostname:port> gives no result bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list <hostname:port> --topic test yields this particular error as follows: WARN Error while fetching metadata with correlation id n : {test=UNKNOWN_TOPIC_OR_PARTITION} (org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient) Is the details of topics from the zookeeper getting deleted while restart? or this is something else? Also how can I cope with this in in real life production? Regards, Gourab Chowdhury,
