ERROR Error when sending message to topic

Question

While producing message in kafka, i am getting the following error :

$ bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic nil_PF1_P1
hi
hello         


        

Answer 1

Another scenario here. No clue on what was happening till I find a kafka log with the following message:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid version for API key 3: 2

Apparently the producer was using a newer kafka-client (java) than the kafka server and the API used was invalid (client using 1.1 and server on 10.0). On the Client/Producer I got the:

Error producing to topic Failed to update metadata after 60000 ms.
