I am trying to read messages on Kafka topic, but I am unable to read it. The process gets killed after sometime, without reading any messages.
Here is the rebalancing error which I get:
[2014-03-21 10:10:53,215] ERROR Error processing message, stopping consumer: (kafka.consumer.ConsoleConsumer$)

I tried to run ConsumerOffsetChecker, and this is the error which I get. I have no clue whatsoever, how to resolve this. Anybody, any idea?

I have got similar problems recently. You can try to increase the consumer configurations rebalance.backoff.ms and zookeeper.session.timeout.ms to about 5-10 seconds.
The first parameter tell kafka to wait more before retrying rebalance. The second one tell kafka to be more patient while trying to connect to zookeeper.
Other configuration options can be found on the official documentation.
This probably means that the brokers did not create those nodes correctly when it connected to Zookeeper. The /consumer path should exist when you try to consume.
Here are a few paths for debugging:
Did you create any topics?
If so:
- How many partitions are there in the topic?
- Did you check that the topic metadata were correctly populated in the zookeeper?
- Can we see your consumer configuration?
If not:
- Then you need to create a topic using the script
$KAFKA_DIR/bin/kafka-create-topic.sh. Look inside the script for usage details. - Once you make a topic, you need to create a consumer with a group ID that has not been used before, otherwise you will not start fresh.
There is a bug in kafka.tools.ConsumerOffsetChecker. If the a particular Zookeeper node holding consumed offset information doesn't exit, the tool exits throwing the execption.
For example, suppose you have a consumer group "mygroup" and a topic "topictest". Then the offset for partition 2 is maintained in Znode: /consumers/mygroup/offsets/topictest/2.
If there is no entry for partition 2 of topic topictest in Znode, then consumer offsetchecker tool will exit while checking offset for partition 2. Basically, it will fail while checking the first partition "n" for which the Znode /consumers/mygroup/offsets/topictest/n is missing on Zookeeper.
probably your brokers are offline and they are not able to connect to Zookeeper, have you tried running the console-consumer script available in the $KAFKA_ROOT_DIR/bin path for checking if you are able to consume from a specific topic.
Another Issue might be because of jar conflicts. If you have the same jar with different versions stored in library folder. This Issue may arise. jars like scala-library ,zkclient, zookeeper, kafka-client should not be duplicated with different versions.
