Consumer not receiving messages, kafka console, new consumer api, Kafka 0.9

Question

I am doing the Kafka Quickstart for Kafka 0.9.0.0.

I have zookeeper listening at localhost:2181 because I ran

bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh          


        

Answer 1

In my case, broker.id=1 in server.properties was problem.

This should be broker.id=0 when you use only one kafka server for development.

Don't forget remove all logs and restart zookeper and kafka

• Remove /tmp/kafka-logs (defined in server.properties file)
• Remove [your_kafka_home]/logs
• Restart Zookeper and Kafka
