As a result of that - object hasn't been created and you > aren't able to use Kafka clients. > I personally think that Kafka should be able to operate with cluster with > quorum number of instances. > {code:java} > try { > InetSocketAddress address = new InetSocketAddress(host, port); > if (address.isUnresolved()) > throw new ConfigException("DNS resolution failed for url in " + > ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG + ": " + url); > addresses.add(address); > } catch (NumberFormatException e) { > throw new ConfigException("Invalid port in " + > ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG + ": " + url); > } > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
