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

I got the same problem, now I have figured out.

When you use --zookeeper, it is supposed to be provided with zookeeper address as parameter.

When you use --bootstrap-server, it is supposed to be provided with broker address as parameter.
