Sadly, I don't have access to those logs anymore, I don't have access to environment. Though I remember seeing some exception during offset writing, most probably due to zookeeper connection issue.
What would be side effects of not being able to write the consumer offset, beside seeing this exception ? As long as my service doesn't restart and I do not recreate the consumer, would the consumer continue to work ? Get duplicates of messages when it's getting connected to ZK again ? Basically, I'm interested in whatever could go wrong with our kafka consumers, what would be the symptoms, what would be the possible workaround.

Can you pass around the entire consumer log ? Thanks, Neha On Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 6:34 PM, Nicolas Berthet <nicolasbert...@maaii.com>wrote: > Neha, > > Thanks for the reply.
