Hi all, I'm not a DS guys but an Ops guy instead fairly new to Zookeeper and Kafka; already spent a ton of time trying to understand what's going on here but so far I just scratched the surface of the issue without having a complete understanding of it.
The issue: We have a cluster of Kafka with a Zookeeper coordinating them all; now the Zookeeper box log file (/var/log/zookeeper/zookeeper.out) is being fill with this error: 2018-07-24 08:23:43,178 [myid:3] - WARN [NIOServerCxn.Factory:0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:2181:NIOServerCnxn@383] - Exception causing close of session 0x3000017d522019e: Len error 1119502 2018-07-24 08:23:43,178 [myid:3] - INFO [NIOServerCxn.Factory:0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:2181:NIOServerCnxn@1040] - Closed socket connection for client /10.20.3.16:40618 which had sessionid 0x3000017d522019e 2018-07-24 08:23:43,492 [myid:3] - INFO [NIOServerCxn.Factory:0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:2181:NIOServerCnxnFactory@215] - Accepted socket connection from /10.20.2.24:49410 2018-07-24 08:23:43,492 [myid:3] - INFO [NIOServerCxn.Factory:0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:2181:ZooKeeperServer@931] - Client attempting to renew session 0x3000017d52200b1 at /10.20.2.24:49410 2018-07-24 08:23:43,493 [myid:3] - INFO [NIOServerCxn.Factory:0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:2181:ZooKeeperServer@683] - Established session 0x3000017d52200b1 with negotiated timeout 30000 for client /10.20.2.24:49410 // The IP 10.20.2.24 refers to the box where we run Kafka Manager and Kafka Offset Monitor. Looking into the Kafka Offset Monitor logs I can see: 09:06:56 INFO ClientCnxn:975 - Opening socket connection to server ip-10-20-1-6.ec2.internal/10.20.1.6:2181.

There's definitely something fishy going on here but I can't untanggle what is it. I'd thankfuly appreciate if you guys can point me into the right direction to where can I learn more about these errors. Thanks!
