Thank you for responding @nsalian. 1. I am trying to replicate this <https://github.com/dibbhatt/kafka-spark-consumer> project on my local system.
2. Yes, kafka and brokers on the same host. 3. I am working with kafka 0.7.3 and spark 1.3.1. Kafka 0.7.3 does not has "--describe" command. Though I've worked on three cases (Kafka and Zookeeper were on my machine all the time): (i) Producer-Consumer on my machine. (ii) Producer on my machine and Consumer on different machine. (iii) Consumer on my machine and producer on different machine. All the three cases were working properly. -- View this message in context: http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/Kafka-Spark-Streaming-ERROR-EndpointWriter-dropping-message-tp23228p23240.html Sent from the Apache Spark User List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@spark.apache.org
