Leader Not Available Kafka in Console Producer

Question

I am trying to use Kafka.
All configurations are done properly but when I try to produce message from console I keep getting the following error

WARN Err         


        

Answer 1

Since I wanted my kafka broker to connect with remote producers and consumers, So I don't want advertised.listener to be commented out. In my case, (running kafka on kubernetes), I found out that my kafka pod was not assigned any Cluster IP. By removing the line clusterIP: None from services.yml, the kubernetes assigns an internal-ip to kafka pod. This resolved my issue of LEADER_NOT_AVAILABLE and also remote connection of kafka producers/consumers.
