I'm using kafka version 2.11-2.3.1 and zookeeper 3.4.10-3 and am able to get each of 3 Ubuntu 18.04 VM's running everything fine separately with basic configs allowing me to create a topic, produce data, and consume data with the kafka provided kafka-topics.sh, kafka-console-producer.sh, and kafka-console-consumer.sh.
Can anyone please help me set up the configs of zookeeper and kafka so that I can connect the 3 into a cluster? I thought all I had to do was set configs as shown below and then use the kafka-topics.sh shell scripts to create a topic with replication-factor 3 and then use the kafka-console-producer.sh and kafka-console-consumer.sh and it would work. But I am getting lots of different errors. Does anyone have a guide/tutorial I can follow?
In zoo.cfg the only settings I have changed from the default script are:
For server 1 ...
server.1=0.0.0.0:2888:3888
server.2=myserver2.com.au:2888:3888
server.3=myserver3.com.au:2888:3888
... and similarly for servers 2 and 3
In kafka's server.properties, the only settings I have changed from the default are:
For server 1 ...
broker.id=1
zookeeper.connect=0.0.0.0:2181,myserver2.com.au:2181,myserver3.com.au:2181
... and similarly for servers 2 and 3 (broker.id is set to 2 and 3 respectively and the zookeeper.connect servers are set appropriately).
Then on myserver1.com.au I ran:
/usr/local/kafka/bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper
"localhost:2181,myserver2.com.au:2181,myserver3.com.au:2181"
--replication-factor 3 --partitions 1 --topic test
and then tried ...
/usr/local/kafka/bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list
"localhost:9092,myserver2.com.au:9092,myserver3.com.au:9092"
--topic test
But it fails with numerous errors. One is ...
org.apache.kafka.common.KafkaException: Should not set log start
offset on partition test's local replica 1 without attempting
to delete records of the log
another is...
ERROR [KafkaApi-0] Error when handling request: clientId=0, correlationId=0,
api=UPDATE_METADATA, body={controller_id=0,controller_epoch=1,
broker_epoch=155,topic_states=[{t...
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Epoch 155 larger than current broker epoch 24
another is ...

error: (org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.ErrorLoggingCallback)
org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Topic test not present in

another is ...

error: (org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.ErrorLoggingCallback)
org.apache.kafka.common.errors.NotLeaderForPartitionException: This server

I can't seem to find anything useful on the internet about these errors and I've tried quite a few combinations of things but am really struggling, so any help would be appreciated!
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.
today a message prompt out when I try to send message to consumer console through producer console
[2016-11-02 15:12:58,168] ERROR Error when sending message to topic test with
key: null, value: 5 bytes with error:
(org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.ErrorLoggingCallback)
org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Batch containing 1 record(s)
expired due to timeout while requesting metadata from brokers for test-0
Why is this happened? Is this consider as Kafka problem or Zookeeper problem?
Seems that client failed to retrieve metadata for test-0 from the kafka brokers.
Either make sure you are able to connect to the kafka brokers or check if 'advertised.listeners' is set if you are running kafka on IaaS machines.
Well after I rebooted the whole server the problem is gone.
I would like to ask anyone face before this kind of stuation?
Few days ago the kafka is able to work properly but today it starting having problem. The console producer is unable to send message and receive by console consumer. After few seconds it prompt :
" ERROR Error when sending message to topic test with key: null, value: 11 bytes with error: (org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.ErrorLoggingCallback)
org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Failed to update metadata after 60000 ms. "
Anyone can help? :'(
You'll see this if the broker you are bootstrapping from is not reachable. Try to telnet to the host and port you are trying to access from the producer. If that communication is OK, turn on debug logging by locating the tools-log4j.properties and changing the warn level to debug.
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)

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
