Client app tries to producing topic on kafka but stucks and, don't return either any error message neither 200 OK - kubernetes

Question

We deploy kafka and zookeeper pods on a kubernetes cluster. These two are connected to each other properly. But when we want produce a topic through a client app the PUT request stuck in pending and after a lot of time no message returned! How can I debug this situation?
The .yaml files for kafka and zookeeper and client app is like below:

We set the "BootstrapServers" to "kafka:9092" in the client app. Seems that client cat resolve the kafka in the cluster and see the IP of the kafka pod but no event occurs when we send PUT request. It worth noting that by using this config out of the kubernetes cluster with docker-compose it works as expected! what is wrong with this configuration?

Answer 1

Then make sure that your nodes have proper seletector: node for deployment broker has to have role:slave1 seletector. Otherwise just delete lines with nodeSelector from broker deployment file.
Then add lines to spec of your deployments configuration file:
selector:
matchLabels:
io.kompose.service: kafka
this one is for kafka.yaml
You don't have to label your services, specifying selectors is enough, so delete label field from services configuration files.
Then in kafka deployment configuration file chane lines :
name: KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT
#value: 192.168.88.42:30573
value: your_zookeeper_service_ip:2181
Line value should include ip of your zookeeper service and port 2181, if your zookeeper service have ip 192.168.88.42 value is proper.

Answer 2

Actually, the problem is related to the the kafka configuration (KAFKA_ADVERTISE_LISTENER, KAFKA_INTER_BROKER_LISTENER_NAME, KAFKA_LISTENERS). Anyway the below deployemnt.yaml config is working properly for me now, without any chang to the service files.

The kafka instance currently connect to the zookeeper and client apps can produce and consume properly to the kafka.
