Kafka 0.9.0.0 create topic throwing KeeperErrorCode = NoNode for /brokers/ids with zookeeper 3.4.6

[Sandhu, Dilpreet]

Hi all,
        I am using Kafka 0.9.0.0 with Zookeeper 3.4.6. I am not sure if I am 
missing anything :(
When I try to create any topic I get the following error:-


Error while executing topic command : replication factor: 1 larger than 
available brokers: 0

[2016-01-27 20:35:53,738] ERROR kafka.admin.AdminOperationException: 
replication factor: 1 larger than available brokers: 0

at kafka.admin.AdminUtils$.assignReplicasToBrokers(AdminUtils.scala:77)

at kafka.admin.AdminUtils$.createTopic(AdminUtils.scala:236)

at kafka.admin.TopicCommand$.createTopic(TopicCommand.scala:105)

at kafka.admin.TopicCommand$.main(TopicCommand.scala:60)

at kafka.admin.TopicCommand.main(TopicCommand.scala)

 (kafka.admin.TopicCommand$)

It works with kafka 0.8.2.1

Zookeeper is running.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Best regards,
Dilpreet
