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

For me the solution described in this thread worked - https://stackoverflow.com/a/51540528/7568227

Check if

offsets.topic.replication.factor

(or probably other config parameters related to replication) is not higher than the number of brokers. That was the problem in my case.

There was no need to use --partition 0 anymore after this fix.

Otherwise I recommend to follow the debugging procedure described in the mentioned thread.
