Kafka, Unable to produce and consume events - apache-kafka

Question

While trying to set kafka on 2 replica and 1 master boxes, got a weird condition where I was not able to consume or produce to a topic.
Using Mirror Maker to sync data between replica <--> Master. Getting following logs unending :
[2016-08-26 14:28:33,897] WARN Bootstrap broker localhost:9092 disconnected (org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient) [2016-08-26

Only way I could recover was by restarting Kafka which produced this kind of logs :

This is my test phase so I was able to restart and recover from the master box but I want know what caused this issue and how can it be avoided. Is there a way to debug this issue?
Trying to achieve following via Kafka
