Hello I am using Kafka-0.10.0 My Kafka brokers are running on a 3 node cluster in a VPN. The consumer and producer are not part of VPN; so I use ssh tunnels and update the bootstrap servers on the Kafka Client (consumer and producer) config accordingly. The Kafka Client is able to initiate the primary connection and I see a topic is also getting created successfully but, further communication is not happening. With little debugging found out that there is something like Metadata Updater which gets the broker advertised ports and further communication using the same InsetSocketAddress.
Is there any way to let the Kafka Clients not use/update the broker address? -- Cheers, *Subroto Sanyal*
