Hi Got the solution to it.
I had to change the producer.properties file for my multi node multi broker kafka cluster , with the following :
metadata.broker.list=2:172.16.30.4:9092,4:172.16.30.4:9093,1:172.16.30.5:9092,3:172.16.30.5:9093
Explanation:
We have 2 nodes
172.16.30.4
172.16.30.5
with 2 brokers running in ports
9092
9093
The preceeding integer in each ip is the myid of the zookeeper, while successing integer is port!!
Hope it would help some one.
