Kafka seems to work but I'd like to understand what's the message about.

Answer 1

Seems that this happens when kafka tries to rename the file when its still open. This is the report of the issue.

Answer 2

The workaround is to delete your kafka logs:
C:\tmp\kafka-logs
C:\tmp\zookeeper
At the time of writing this answer the existing bug is still outstanding.
