Hi! We’re having a problem with a new kafka cluster at 1.1.0. The problem is, in general, that consumers can’t consume from the different broker (old broker was 0.11 I think). The easiest recipe I have for reproducing the problem is that downloading kafka 1.0.1 and running console consumer can’t consume from the 1.1.0 cluster while a 1.1.0 console consumer can. We’re invoking console consumer like this:
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh \ —bootstrap-server [kafka server] \ —topic [our topic] \ —max-messages 3 That works for a 1.1.0 console consumer, but not for 1.0.1. However, if we change that to: bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh \ —zookeeper [zookeeper server] \ —topic [our topic] \ —max-messages 3 Then it works for 1.0.1. I was wondering, is the zookeeper schema published for 1.1.0? I have a feeling that maybe something is wrong in zookeeper and I know earlier versions of kafka used to publish the zk schema, could there be a problem in zk? if so, what might I look for? Any help is greatly appreciated! Cheers, Craig
