Kafka-Streams app unknown topic or partition error - apache-kafka

I have a problem trying to get a Kafka-Streams running with a Kafka Cluster. As you can see from the bootstrap servers property there are 3 Kafka servers in the cluster. All is working fine there. But for some reason when this app is started I keep getting "unknown topic or partition error" errors as if the Stream app does not have rights to create the Changlog and Partition topics it needs to run. I have it Kafka set to "auto.create.topics.enable=true" but I ont think this is the issue. Any clues would be a great help.

Error while fetching metadata kafka {test=LEADER_NOT_AVAILABLE}?

I get the error after running those simple commands -
I started the Zookeeper and the Kafka servers,
I execute the command:
./kafka-topics --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic test
and execute the command:
./kafka-console-producer --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic test
I obtain a list of WARN like:
[2019-12-08 21:36:13,024] WARN [Producer clientId=console-producer] Error while fetching metadata with correlation id 37 : {test=LEADER_NOT_AVAILABLE} (org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient)
what did I do wrong?
Thanks
If your broker has the auto.create.topics.enable set to true, then this error will be transient and you should be able to produce message without any further error.
It happens just because the producer is asking for metadata about the topic it wants to write to but that topic doesn't exist in the cluster and the partition leader (where the producer wants to write) doesn't exist yet.
If you retry, the broker will create the topic and the command will work fine.
If the above configuration is set to false, then the broker doesn't create the topic automatically on the first request from a client so you have to create it upfront.
Finally, but it's not your case, the above error could even happen when the topic exist but, for example, the broker which is leader for the specific topic partition is down and a new leader election is in progress.
I wanted to add a comment, but its seems I can't. Just go through this link. Someone had a similar problem and it seems the problem is not what you have done but can be somethings different.

Kafka Remote Producer - advertised.listeners

I am running Kafka 0.10.0 on CDH 5.9, cluster is kerborized.
What I am trying to do is to write messages from a remote machine to my Kafka broker.
The cluster (where Kafka is installed) has internal as well as external IP addresses.
The machines' hostnames within the cluster get resolved to the private IPs, the remote machine resolves the same hostnames to the public IP addreses.
I opened the necessary port 9092 (I am using SASL_PLAINTEXT protocol) from remote machine to Kafka Broker, verified that using telnet.
First Step - in addition to the standard properties for the Kafka Broker, I configured the following:
listeners=SASL_PLAINTEXT://0.0.0.0:9092
advertised.listeners=SASL_PLAINTEXT://<hostname>:9092
I am able to start the console consumer with
kafka-console-consumer --new consumer --topic <topicname> --from-beginning --bootstrap-server <hostname>:9092 --consumer.config consumer.properties
I am able to use my custom producer from another machine within the cluster.
Relevant excerpt of producer properties:
security.protocol=SASL_PLAINTEXT
bootstrap.servers=<hostname>:9092
I am not able to use my custom producer from the remote machine:
Exception org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Batch containing 1 record(s) expired due to timeout while requesting metadata from brokers for <topicname>-<partition>
using the same producer properties. I am able to telnet the Kafka Broker from the machine and /etc/hosts includes hostnames and public IPs.
Second Step - I modified server.properties:
listeners=SASL_PLAINTEXT://0.0.0.0:9092
advertised.listeners=SASL_PLAINTEXT://<kafkaBrokerInternalIP>:9092
consumer & producer within the same cluster still run fine (bootstrap
servers are now the internal IP with port 9092)
as expected remote producer fails (but that is obvious given that it
is not aware of the internal IP addresses)
Third Step - where it gets hairy :(
listeners=SASL_PLAINTEXT://0.0.0.0:9092
advertised.listeners=SASL_PLAINTEXT://<kafkaBrokerPublicIP>:9092
starting my consumer with
kafka-console-consumer --new-consumer --topic <topicname> --from-beginning --bootstrap-server <hostname>:9092 --consumer.config consumer.properties
gives me a warning, but I don't think this is right...
WARN clients.NetworkClient: Error while fetching metadata with correlation id 1 : {<topicname>=LEADER_NOT_AVAILABLE}
starting my consumer with
kafka-console-consumer --new-consumer --topic <topicname> --from-beginning --bootstrap-server <KafkaBrokerPublicIP>:9092 --consumer.config consumer.properties
just hangs after those log messages:
INFO utils.AppInfoParser: Kafka version : 0.10.0-kafka-2.1.0
INFO utils.AppInfoParser: Kafka commitId : unknown
seems like it cannot find a coordinator as in the normal flow this would be the next log:
INFO internals.AbstractCoordinator: Discovered coordinator <hostname>:9092 (id: <someNumber> rack: null) for group console-consumer-<someNumber>.
starting the producer on a cluster node with bootstrap.servers=:9092
I observe the same as with the producer:
WARN NetworkClient:600 - Error while fetching metadata with correlation id 0 : {<topicname>=LEADER_NOT_AVAILABLE}
starting the producer on a cluster node with bootstrap.servers=:9092 I get
org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Failed to update metadata after 60000 ms.
starting the producer on my remote machine with either bootstrap.servers=:9092 or bootstrap.servers=:9092 I get
NetworkClient:600 - Error while fetching metadata with correlation id 0 : {<topicname>=LEADER_NOT_AVAILABLE}
I have been struggling for the past three days to get this to work, however I am out of ideas :/ My understanding is that advertised.hostnames serves for exactly this purpose, however either I am doing something wrong, or there is something wrong in the machine setup.
Any hints are very much appreciated!
I met this issue recently.
In my case , I enabled Kafka ACL, and after disable it by comment this 2 configuration, the problem worked around.
authorizer.class.name=kafka.security.auth.SimpleAclAuthorizer
super.users=User:kafka
And an thread may help you I think:
https://gist.github.com/jorisdevrede/a7933a99251452bb1867
What mentioned in it at the end:
If you only use a SASL_PLAINTEXT listener on the Kafka Broker, you
have to make sure that you have set the
security.inter.broker.protocol=SASL_PLAINTEXT too, otherwise you will
get a LEADER_NOT_AVAILABLE error in the client.

Kafka Multi Node setup "Unreasonable length" in Zookeeper logs

I have setup a multi node setup for kafka, everything seems to work well and show no error logs unless i try to push message to one producer. I get a message:
Bootstrap broker host2:2181 disconnected (org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient)
and on the zookeeper logs i am getting:
"WARN Exception causing close of session 0x0 due to java.io.IOException:
Unreasonable length = 1701969920 (org.apache.zookeeper.server.NIOServerCnxn)"
i cleaned up my data directory which is "/var/zookeeper/data" still no luck.
Any help on the the would be much appriciated
Vaibhav looking at this line (Bootstrap broker host2:2181) looks like you are trying to connect to zookeeper instance rather than broker instance. By Default Kafka broker runs on 9092 port. So producer and consumer should be created as per below command
Producer :
bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list host1:9092,host2:9092 \
--topic "topic_name"
Consumer:
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server <host_ip_of_producer>:9092 \
--topic "topic_name" --from-beginning

Kafka unrecoverable if broker dies

We have a kafka cluster with three brokers (node ids 0,1,2) and a zookeeper setup with three nodes.
We created a topic "test" on this cluster with 20 partitions and replication factor 2. We are using Java producer API to send messages to this topic. One of the kafka broker intermittently goes down after which it is unrecoverable. To simulate the case, we killed one of the broker manually. As per the kafka arch, it is supposed to self recover, but which is not happening. When I describe the topic on the console, I see the number of ISR's reduced to one for few of the partitions as one of the broker killed. Now, whenever we are trying to push messages via the producer API (either Java client or console producer), we are encountering SocketTimeoutException.. One quick look into the logs says, "Unable to fetch the metadata"
WARN [2015-07-01 22:55:07,590] [ReplicaFetcherThread-0-3][] kafka.server.ReplicaFetcherThread - [ReplicaFetcherThread-0-3],

Any leads will be appreciated...
From your error Unable to fetch metadata it could mostly be because you could have set the bootstrap.servers in the producer to the broker that has died.
Ideally, you must have more than one broker in the bootstrap.servers list because if one of the broker fails (or is unreachable) then the other could give you the metadata.
FYI: Metadata is the information about a particular topic that tells how many number of partitions it has, their leader brokers, follower brokers etc.
So, when a key is produced to a partition, its corresponding leader broker will be the one to whom the messages will be sent to.
From your question, your ISR set has only one broker. You could try setting the bootstrap.server to this broker.

Kafka QuickStart, advertised.host.name gives kafka.common.LeaderNotAvailableException

I am able to get a simple one-node Kafka (kafka_2.11-0.8.2.1) working locally on one linux machine, but when I try to run a producer remotely I'm getting some confusing errors.
I'm following the quickstart guide at http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#quickstart. I stopped the kafka processes and deleted all the zookeeper & karma files in /tmp. I am on a local 10.0.0.0/24 network NAT-ed with an external IP address, so I modified server.properties to tell zookeeper how to broadcast my external address, as per https://medium.com/#thedude_rog/running-kafka-in-a-hybrid-cloud-environment-17a8f3cfc284:
advertised.host.name=MY.EXTERNAL.IP
Then I'm running this:
$ bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties
--> ...
$ export KAFKA_HEAP_OPTS="-Xmx256M -Xms128M" # small test server!
$ bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties
--> ...
I opened up the firewall for my producer on the remote machine, and created a new topic and verified it:
$ bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper MY.EXTERNAL.IP:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic test123
--> Created topic "test123".
$ bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper MY.EXTERNAL.IP:2181
--> test123
However, the producer I'm running remotely gives me errors:
$ bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list MY.EXTERNAL.IP:9092 --topic test123
--> [2015-06-16 14:41:19,757] WARN Property topic is not valid (kafka.utils.VerifiableProperties)

--> (repeated several times)
(I disabled the whole firewall to make sure that wasn't the problem.)
The stdout errors in the karma-startup are repeated: [2015-06-16 20:42:42,768] INFO Closing socket connection to /MY.EXTERNAL.IP. (kafka.network.Processor)
And the controller.log gives me this, several times:

I assume this means that the broker can't be found for some reason? I'm confused what this means...
For the recent versions of Kafka (0.10.0 as of this writing), you don't want to use advertised.host.name at all. In fact, even the [documentation] states that advertised.host.name is already deprecated. Moreover, Kafka will use this not only as the "advertised" host name for the producers/consumers, but for other brokers as well (in a multi-broker environment)...which is kind of a pain if you're using using a different (perhaps internal) DNS for the brokers...and you really don't want to get into the business of adding entries to the individual /etc/hosts of the brokers (ew!)
So, basically, you would want the brokers to use the internal name, but use the external FQDNs for the producers and consumers only. To do this, you will update advertised.listeners instead.
Set advertised.host.name to a host name, not an IP address. The default is to return a FQDN using getCanonicalHostName(), but this is only best effort and falls back to an IP. See the java docs for getCanonicalHostName().
The trick is to get that host name to always resolve to the correct IP. For small environments I usually setup all of the hosts with all of their internal IPs in /etc/hosts. This way all machines know how to talk to each other over the internal network, by name. In fact, configure your Kafka clients by name now too, not by IP. If managing all the /etc/hosts files is a burden then setup an internal DNS server to centralize it, but internal DNS should return internal IPs. Either of these options should be less work than having IP addresses scattered throughout various configuration files on various machines.
Once everything is communicating by name all that's left is to configure external DNS with the external IPs and everything just works. This includes configuring Kafka clients with the server names, not IPs.
So to summarize, the solution to this was to add a route via NAT so that the machine can access its own external IP address.
Zookeeper uses the address it finds in advertised.host.name both to tell clients where to find the broker as well as to communicate with the broker itself. The error that gets reported doesn't make this very clear, and it's confusing because a client has no problem opening a TCP connection.
Taking cue from above: for my single node (while still learning) I modified server.properties file having text "advertised.host.name" to value=127.0.01. So finally it looks something like this
advertised.host.name=127.0.0.1
While starting producer it still shows warning, but now it is atleast working while I can see messages on consumer terminal perfectly comming
On your machine where Kafka is installed, check if it is up and running. The error states, 0 brokers are available that means Kafka is not up and running.
On linux machine you can use the netstat command to check if the service is running.
netstat -an|grep port_kafka_is_Listening ( default is 9092)
conf/server.properties:
host.name
DEPRECATED: only used when listeners is not set. Use listeners instead. hostname of broker. If this is set, it will only bind to this address. If this is not set, it will bind to all interfaces
