I have being using the below CMD to get the latest offsets in from a Kafka Queue which has plain-text port open
kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.GetOffsetShell --broker-list server:9092 --topic sample_topic --time -1
But, now we only have the SSL port open, so I tried passing the SSL details as a property file
kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.GetOffsetShell --broker-list server:9093 --topic sample_topic --time -1 --consumer-config /path/to/file
Getting the below error -
Exception in thread "main" joptsimple.UnrecognizedOptionException: consumer-config is not a recognized option
How do I pass the SSL details to this command? These are all the available arguments for kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.GetOffsetShell
--broker-list <String: hostname:and port,...,hostname:port>
--max-wait-ms <Integer: ms>
--offsets <Integer: count>
--partitions <String: partition ids>
--time <Long: timestamp/-1(latest)/-2
--topic <String: topic>
Unfortunately kafka.tools.GetOffsetShell only supports PLAINTEXT connection. This tools is not used a lot and nobody has bothered updating it.
Depending on your use case, you have a few options:
Use the kafka-consumer-groups.sh tool: Assuming you have a consumer group consuming from that topic, this tool display the log end offsets of each partitions
Patch kafka.tools.GetOffsetShell: It's realtively easy to add support to secured connections bby reusing logic from the other tool. If you do so, consider sending a patch to Kafka =)
Write a tiny tool that calls Consumer.endOffsets()
Use kafka.tools.DumpLogSegments: As a last resort this tool can also be used to find the last offset
i'm trying to start a consumer using Apache Kafka, it used to work well, but i had to format my pc and reinstall everything again, and now when trying to run this:
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic test --from-beginning
this is what i'm getting:
Missing required argument "[zookeeper]"
Option Description
------ -----------
--blacklist <blacklist> Blacklist of topics to exclude from
consumption.
--bootstrap-server <server to connect
to>
--consumer.config <config file> Consumer config properties file.
--csv-reporter-enabled If set, the CSV metrics reporter will
be enabled
--delete-consumer-offsets If specified, the consumer path in
zookeeper is deleted when starting up
--formatter <class> The name of a class to use for
formatting kafka messages for
display. (default: kafka.tools.
DefaultMessageFormatter)
--from-beginning If the consumer does not already have
an established offset to consume
from, start with the earliest

my guess is that there's some kind of problem with the zookeeper connection port, because it's telling me to specify the port which zookeeper has to use to get connected to kafka. I'm not sure of this though, and don't know how to figure out the port to specify if this was the problem. Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance for the help
It looks like you are using an old version of the Kafka tools that requires to set --new-consumer if you want to directly connect to the brokers.
I'd recommend picking a recent version of Kafka so you only need to specify --bootstrap-server like in your example: http://kafka.apache.org/downloads
I am trying to read a file using kafka producer.Zookeeper and Broker server are running. I am able to read inputs from command prompt using Kafka producer and Consumers using below commands -
Kafka Producer
kafka-console-producer --topic incoming --broker localhost:9092
Kafka Consumer
kafka-console-consumer --topic incoming --zookeeper localhost:2181
For reading from file i had tried below command line arguments -
kafka-console-producer -–broker-list localhost:9092 -–topic incoming --new-producer < C:\abc.txt
but it produced below error -
û is not a recognized option
I googled the message and it says about correcting the producer command which looks correct to me.
For kafka-10 you don't need to pass --new-producer flag. Following command is working for me:
kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic incoming < C:\abc.txt
I found something very weird with Kafka.
I have a producer with 3 brokers :
bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9093, localhost:9094, localhost:9095 --topic topic
Then I try to run a consumer with the new API :
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9093,localhost:9094,localhost:9095 --topic topic --from-beginning
I got nothing ! BUT if I use the old API :
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --from-beginning --topic topic
I got my messages !
What is wrong with me ?
PS : I am using Kafka 10
I eventually resolved my problem thanks to this similar post : Kafka bootstrap-servers vs zookeeper in kafka-console-consumer
I believe it is a bug / wrong configuration of mine leading to a problem with zookeeper and kafka.
SOLUTION :
First be sure to have enable topic deleting in server.properties files of your brokers :
# Switch to enable topic deletion or not, default value is false
delete.topic.enable=true
Then delete the topic :
bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --delete --topic myTopic
Remove all the /tmp/log.dir directories of your brokers.
EDIT : I faced again the problem and I had to remove also the log files of zookeeper in /tmp/zookeeper/version-2/.
Finally delete the topic in /brokers/topics in zookeeper as follow :
$ kafka/bin/zookeeper-shell.sh localhost:2181
Connecting to localhost:2181
Welcome to ZooKeeper!
JLine support is disabled
rmr /broker/topics/mytopic
And restart your brokers and create your topic again.
After fighting a while with same problem. Specify --partition and console consumer new API works (but hangs..). I have CDH 5.12 + Kafka 0.11 (from parcel).
UPD:
Also find out that Kafka 0.11 (versioned as 3.0.0 in CDH parclel) does not work correctly with consuming messages. After downgrading to Kafka 0.10 it become OK. --partition does not need any more.
I had the same problem, but I was using a single broker instance for my "cluster", and I was getting this error:
/var/log/messages
[2018-04-04 22:29:39,854] ERROR [KafkaApi-20] Number of alive brokers '1' does not meet the required replication factor '3' for the offsets topic (configured via 'offsets.topic.replication.factor'). This error can be ignored if the cluster is starting up and not all brokers are up yet. (kafka.server.KafkaApis)
I just added in my server configuration file the setting offsets.topic.replication.factor=1 and restarted. It started to work fine.
I am doing the Kafka Quickstart for Kafka 0.9.0.0.
I have zookeeper listening at localhost:2181 because I ran
bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties
I have a single broker listening at localhost:9092 because I ran
bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties
I have a producer posting to topic "test" because I ran
bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic test
yello
is this thing on?
let's try another
gimme more
When I run the old API consumer, it works by running
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic test --from-beginning
However, when I run the new API consumer, I don't get anything when I run
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --new-consumer --topic test --from-beginning \
--bootstrap-server localhost:9092
Is it possible to subscribe to a topic from the console consumer using the new api? How can I fix it?
I my MAC box I was facing the same issue of console-consumer not consuming any messages when used the command
kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9095 --from-beginning --topic my-replicated-topic
But when I tried with
kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9095 --from-beginning --topic my-replicated-topic --partition 0
It happily lists the messages sent. Is this a bug in Kafka 1.10.11?
I just ran into this issue and the solution was to delete /brokers in zookeeper and restart the kafka nodes.
bin/zookeeper-shell <zk-host>:2181
and then
rmr /brokers
Not sure why this solves it.
When I enabled debug logging, I saw this error message over and over again in the consumer:
2017-07-07 01:20:12 DEBUG AbstractCoordinator:548 - Sending GroupCoordinator request for group test to broker xx.xx.xx.xx:9092 (id: 1007 rack: null)

2017-07-07 01:20:12 DEBUG AbstractCoordinator:215 - Coordinator discovery failed for group test, refreshing metadata
For me the solution described in this thread worked - https://stackoverflow.com/a/51540528/7568227
Check if
offsets.topic.replication.factor
(or probably other config parameters related to replication)
is not higher than the number of brokers. That was the problem in my case.
There was no need to use --partition 0 anymore after this fix.
Otherwise I recommend to follow the debugging procedure described in the mentioned thread.
In my case, this doesn't work
kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --from-beginning --topic my-replicated-topic
and this works
kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --from-beginning --topic my-replicated-topic --partition 0
because the topic __consumer_offsets was located on the unaccessible broker. Basically, I'd forgotten to replicate it. Relocating __consumer_offsets solved my issue.
Was getting the same issue on my Mac.
I checked the logs and found the following error.
Number of alive brokers '1' does not meet the required replication factor '3' for the offsets topic (configured via 'offsets.topic.replication.factor').
This error can be ignored if the cluster is starting up and not all brokers are up yet.
This can be fixed by changing the replication factor to 1. Add the following line in server.properties and restart Kafka/Zookeeper.
offsets.topic.replication.factor=1
I got the same problem, now I have figured out.
When you use --zookeeper, it is supposed to be provided with zookeeper address as parameter.
When you use --bootstrap-server, it is supposed to be provided with broker address as parameter.
Your localhost is the foo here.
if you replace the localhost word for the actual hostname, it should work.
like this:
producer
./bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list \
sandbox-hdp.hortonworks.com:9092 --topic test
consumer:
./bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --topic test --from-beginning \
--bootstrap-server bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --new-consumer \
--topic test --from-beginning \
--bootstrap-server localhost:9092
This problem also impacts ingesting data from the kafka using flume and sink the data to HDFS.
To fix the above issue:
Stop Kafka brokers
Connect to zookeeper cluster and remove /brokers z node
Restart kafka brokers
There is no issue with respect to kafka client version and scala version that we are using the cluster. Zookeeper might have wrong information about broker hosts.
To verify the action:
Create topic in kafka.
$ kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server slavenode01.cdh.com:9092 --topic rkkrishnaa3210 --from-beginning
Open a producer channel and feed some messages to it.
$ kafka-console-producer --broker-list slavenode03.cdh.com:9092 --topic rkkrishnaa3210
Open a consumer channel to consume the message from a specific topic.
$ kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server slavenode01.cdh.com:9092 --topic rkkrishnaa3210 --from-beginning
To test this from flume:
Flume agent config:
rk.sources = source1
rk.channels = channel1
rk.sinks = sink1
rk.sources.source1.type = org.apache.flume.source.kafka.KafkaSource
rk.sources.source1.zookeeperConnect = ip-20-0-21-161.ec2.internal:2181
rk.sources.source1.topic = rkkrishnaa321
rk.sources.source1.groupId = flume1
rk.sources.source1.channels = channel1
rk.sources.source1.interceptors = i1
rk.sources.source1.interceptors.i1.type = timestamp
rk.sources.source1.kafka.consumer.timeout.ms = 100
rk.channels.channel1.type = memory
rk.channels.channel1.capacity = 10000
rk.channels.channel1.transactionCapacity = 1000
rk.sinks.sink1.type = hdfs
rk.sinks.sink1.hdfs.path = /user/ce_rk/kafka/%{topic}/%y-%m-%d
rk.sinks.sink1.hdfs.rollInterval = 5
rk.sinks.sink1.hdfs.rollSize = 0
rk.sinks.sink1.hdfs.rollCount = 0
rk.sinks.sink1.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
rk.sinks.sink1.channel = channel1
Run flume agent:
flume-ng agent --conf . -f flume.conf -Dflume.root.logger=DEBUG,console -n rk
Observe logs from the consumer that the message from the topic is written in HDFS.

Use this:
$ bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic test --from-beginning
Note: Remove --new-consumer from your command
For reference see here: https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart
Can you please try like this:
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --from-beginning --topic my-replicated-topic
In my case it didn't worked using either approaches then I also increased the log level to DEBUG at config/log4j.properties, started the console consumer
./bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server 127.0.0.1:9092 --from-beginning --topic MY_TOPIC
Then got the log below
[2018-03-11 12:11:25,711] DEBUG [MetadataCache brokerId=10] Error while fetching metadata for MY_TOPIC-3: leader not available (kafka.server.MetadataCache)
The point here is that I have two kafka nodes but one is down, by some reason by default kafka-console consumer will not consume if there is some partition not available because the node is down (the partition 3 in that case). It doesn't happen in my application.
Possible solutions are
Startup the down brokers
Delete the topic and create it again that way all partitions will be placed at the online broker node
Run the below command from bin:
./kafka-console-consumer.sh --topic test --from-beginning --bootstrap-server localhost:9092
"test" is the topic name
I had this problem that consumer finished executing
in kafka_2.12-2.3.0.tgz.
Tried debugging but no logs were printed.
Try running fine with kafka_2.12-2.2.2
.Works fine.
And try running the zookeeper and kafka from the quickstart guide!
In my case, broker.id=1 in server.properties was problem.
This should be broker.id=0 when you use only one kafka server for development.
Don't forget remove all logs and restart zookeper and kafka
Remove /tmp/kafka-logs (defined in server.properties file)
Remove [your_kafka_home]/logs
Restart Zookeper and Kafka
In kafka_2.11-0.11.0.0 the zookeeper server is deprecated and and it is using bootstrap-server, and it will take broker ip address and port. If you give correct broker parameters you will be able to consume messages.
e.g. $ bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server :9093 --topic test --from-beginning
I'm using port 9093, for you it may vary.
regards.
replication factor must be at least 3
./bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --from-beginning --topic test
