Hi All, I am getting consumer rebalance failed exception if i restart my consumer within 1-3 seconds.
Exception trace is: Caused by: kafka.common.ConsumerRebalanceFailedException: indexConsumerGroup1_IMPETUS-I0027C-1388416992091-ac0d82d7 can't rebalance after 4 retries at kafka.consumer.ZookeeperConsumerConnector$ZKRebalancerListener.syncedRebalance(Unknown Source) at kafka.consumer.ZookeeperConsumerConnector.kafka$consumer$ZookeeperConsumerConnector$$reinitializeConsumer(Unknown Source) at kafka.consumer.ZookeeperConsumerConnector.consume(Unknown Source) at kafka.javaapi.consumer.ZookeeperConsumerConnector.createMessageStreams(Unknown Source) at kafka.javaapi.consumer.ZookeeperConsumerConnector.createMessageStreams(Unknown Source) Is this exception depends on any of below properties: zookeeper.session.timeout.ms 6000 zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms 6000 If i kill the consumer and start that again after 5-6 sec then it started working properly without throwing any exception. If i start consumer immediately after killing that then ConsumerRebalanceFailedException occurs. Please help !! -- *Thanks & Regards* *Hanish Bansal*
