I'm just getting started with Apache Kafka/Zookeeper and have been running into issues trying to set up a cluster on AWS. Currently I have three servers:
One running Zookeeper and two running Kafka.
I can start the Kafka servers without issue and can create topics on both of them. However, the trouble comes when I try to start a producer on one machine and a consumer on the other:
on the Kafka producer:
kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list <kafka server 1 aws public dns>:9092,<kafka server 2 aws public dns>:9092 --topic samsa
on the Kafka consumer:
kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper <zookeeper server ip>:2181 --topic samsa
I type in a message on the producer ("hi") and nothing happens for a while. Then I get this message:
ERROR Error when sending message to topic samsa with key: null, value: 2 bytes
with error: Failed to update metadata after 60000 ms.
(org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.ErrorLoggingCallback)
On the consumer side I get this message, which repeats periodically:
WARN Fetching topic metadata with correlation id # for topics [Set(samsa)] from broker [BrokerEndPoint(<broker.id>,<producer's advertised.host.name>,9092)] failed (kafka.client.ClientUtils$)
java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException

at kafka.consumer.ConsumerFetcherManager$LeaderFinderThread.doWork(ConsumerFetcherManager.scala:66)
at kafka.utils.ShutdownableThread.run(ShutdownableThread.scala:63)
After a while, the producer will then start rapidly throwing this error message with # increasing incrementally:
WARN Error while fetching metadata with correlation id # : {samsa=LEADER_NOT_AVAILABLE} (org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient)
Not sure where to go from here. Let me know if more details about my configuration files are needed
/etc/hostsfile? – Veranda
