Gwen Shapira commented on KAFKA-1618:
-------------------------------------
I still think that using port 9092 as default makes tons of sense. Its true
that admins can run Kafka brokers on any port, but in practice any
client-server architecture has defaults and I'll be hard-pressed to think of
tools that absolutely require port number to connect to a server.
Browsers default to port 80 (although we run HTTP servers on many other ports),
ZK client will connect to port 2181 by default, HDFS will default to 8020 if
you don't specify anything, etc, etc. People are used to not having to specify
a port if they use a default - why do we want to make usage of Kafka any more
difficult?

> When running console producer with just "localhost" as the broker list, I get
> ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception.
> I expect either a clearer error about arguments or for the producer to
> "guess" a default port.
