TimeoutException: Timeout expired while fetching topic metadata Kafka

问题

I have been trying to deploy Kafka with schema registry locally using Kubernetes. However, the logs of the schema registry pod show this error message:

ERROR Server died unexpectedly:  (io.confluent.kafka.schemaregistry.rest.SchemaRegistryMain:51)
org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Timeout expired while fetching topic metadata

What could be the reason of this behavior? ' In order to run Kubernetes locally, I user Minikube version v0.32.0 with Kubernetes version v1.13.0

My Kafka configuration:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: kafka-1
spec:
  ports:
    - name: client
      port: 9092
  selector:

回答1:

org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Timeout expired while fetching topic metadata

can happen when trying to connect to a broker expecting SSL connections and the client config did not specify;

security.protocol=SSL 

回答2:

One time I fixed this issue by restarting my machine but it happened again and I didn't want to restart my machine, so I fixed it with this property in the server.properties file

advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9092
