Hi, I am facing an issue with the Kafka clustering setup that I have. I have a Kafka cluster with two broker that are connected to two zookeepers. I am posting data to a topic that have replication factor and partition two each with a spring boot Kafka producer and consuming the same with another spring boot app.
I found one strange behavior when testing the cluster in the following manner - 1. Turned off node1 and node 2 2. Turned on node 1 3. Turned off node 1 4. Turned on node 2 After turning on node 2 Kafka cluster got failed and I am not able to produce data to Kafka. My consumer started throwing the message continuously as given below. [Producer clientId=producer-1] Connection to node 1 (/server1-ip:9092) could not be established. Broker may not be available. Issue is visible in both nodes. But if I kept both system up for a while issue will get resolved and I can turn off any of the node without breaking the cluster. My broker configuration is as below. broker.id=0 listeners=PLAINTEXT://server1-ip:9092 advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://serever1-ip:9092 num.network.threads=3 num.io.threads=8 socket.send.buffer.bytes=102400 socket.receive.buffer.bytes=102400 socket.request.max.bytes=104857600 log.dirs=/home/user/kafka/data/kafka-logs num.partitions=1 num.recovery.threads.per.data.dir=2 offsets.topic.replication.factor=2 transaction.state.log.replication.factor=2 transaction.state.log.min.isr=2 log.retention.hours=168 log.segment.bytes=1073741824 log.retention.check.interval.ms=300000 zookeeper.connect=serever1-ip:2181,serever2-ip:2181 zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms=6000 group.initial.rebalance.delay.ms=3000 auto.leader.rebalance.enable=true leader.imbalance.check.interval.seconds=5 Zookeeper configuration dataDir=/home/user/kafka/data clientPort=2181 maxClientCnxns=0 initLimit=10 syncLimit=5 tickTime=2000 server.1=server1-ip:2888:3888 server.2=server2-ip:2888:3888 Is this is an expected behavior of Kafka or am I doing something wrong with this configuration ? Can somebody help me with this issue .. Thanks in advance.
