I am doing the Kafka Quickstart for Kafka 0.9.0.0.
I have zookeeper listening at localhost:2181 because I ran
localhost:2181
bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh
I had this problem that consumer finished executing in kafka_2.12-2.3.0.tgz.
Tried debugging but no logs were printed.
Try running fine with kafka_2.12-2.2.2 .Works fine.
And try running the zookeeper and kafka from the quickstart guide!
