kafka-python: producer is not able to connect

kafka-python (1.0.0) throws error while connecting to the broker. At the same time /usr/bin/kafka-console-producer and /usr/bin/kafka-console-consumer work fine.

Python application used to work well also, but after zookeeper restart, it no longer can connect.

I am using bare bones example from the docs:

from kafka import KafkaProducer
from kafka.common import KafkaError

producer = KafkaProducer(bootstrap_servers=['hostname:9092'])

# Asynchronous by default
future = producer.send('test-topic', b'raw_bytes')

I am getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "pp.py", line 4, in <module>
    producer = KafkaProducer(bootstrap_servers=['hostname:9092'])   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/kafka/producer/kafka.py", line 246, in __init__
    self.config['api_version'] = client.check_version()   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/kafka/client_async.py", line 629, in check_version
    connect(node_id)   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/kafka/client_async.py", line 592, in connect
    raise Errors.NodeNotReadyError(node_id) kafka.common.NodeNotReadyError: 0 Exception AttributeError: "'KafkaProducer' object has no attribute '_closed'" in <bound method KafkaProducer.__del__ of <kafka.producer.kafka.KafkaProducer object at 0x7f6171294c50>> ignored

When stepping through ( /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/kafka/client_async.py) I noticed that line 270 evaluates as false:

270         if not self._metadata_refresh_in_progress and not self.cluster.ttl() == 0:
271             if self._can_send_request(node_id):
272                 return True
273         return False

In my case self._metadata_refresh_in_progress is False, but the ttl() = 0;

At the same time kafka-console-* are happily pushing messages around:

/usr/bin/kafka-console-producer --broker-list hostname:9092 --topic test-topic
hello again
hello2

Any advice?

I had the same problem, and none of the solutions above worked. Then I read the exception messages and it seems it's mandatory to specify api_version, so

producer = KafkaProducer(bootstrap_servers=['localhost:9092'],api_version=(0,1,0))

note: tuple (1,0,0) matching to kafka version 1.0.0

works fine (at least completes without exceptions, now have to convince it to accept messages ;) )

I had a similar problem. In my case, broker hostname was unresolvable on the client side . Try to explicitly set advertised.host.name in the configuration file.

A host could have multiple dns aliases. Any of them would work for ssh or ping test. However kafka connection should use the alias that matches advertised.host.name in server.properties file of the broker.

I was using a different alias in bootstrap_servers parameter. Hence an error. Once I changed the call to use advertised.hostname, the problem was solved

I had the same problem.

I solved the problem with hint of user3503929.

The kafka server was installed on windows.

server.properties

...
host.name = 0.0.0.0
...

producer = KafkaProducer(bootstrap_servers='192.168.1.3:9092',         
                                         value_serializer=str.encode)
producer.send('test', value='aaa')
producer.close()
print("DONE.")

There was no problem with the processing in the windows kafka client. However, when I send a message to topic using kafka-python in ubuntu, a NoBrokersAvailable exception is raised.

Add the following settings to server.properties.

...
advertised.host.name = 192.168.1.3
...

It runs successfully in the same code. I spent three hours because of this.

Thanks

I had a similar problem and removing the port from the bootstrap_servers helped.

consumer = KafkaConsumer('my_topic',
                     #group_id='x',
                     bootstrap_servers='kafka.com')

Install kafka-python using pip install kafka-python

Steps to create kafka data pipeline:-
1. Run the Zookeeper using shell command or install zookeeperd using

sudo apt-get install zookeeperd

This will run zookeeper as a daemon and by default listens to 2181 port

Run the kafka Server
Run the script with producer.py and consumer.py on separate consoles to see the live data.

Here are the commands to run:-

cd kafka-directory
./bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh  ./config/zookeeper.properties    
./bin/kafka-server-start.sh  ./config/server.properties

Now that you have zookeeper and kafka server running, Run the producer.py script and consumer.py

Producer.py:

from kafka import KafkaProducer import time

producer = KafkaProducer(bootstrap_servers=['localhost:9092'])
topic = 'test'
lines = ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8"]
for line in lines:
  try:
    producer.send(topic, bytes(line, "UTF-8")).get(timeout=10)
  except IndexError as e:
    print(e)
  continue

Consumer.py:-

from kafka import KafkaConsumer
topic = 'test'
consumer = KafkaConsumer(topic, bootstrap_servers=['localhost:9092'])
for message in consumer:
    # message value and key are raw bytes -- decode if necessary!
    # e.g., for unicode: `message.value.decode('utf-8')`
    # print ("%s:%d:%d: key=%s value=%s" % (message.topic, message.partition,
    #                                       message.offset, message.key,
    #                                       message.value))
    print(message)

Now run the producer.py and consumer.py in separate terminals to see the live data..!

Note: Above producer.py script runs once only to run it forever, use while loop and use time module.

In your server.properties file make sure he Listener IP is set to your box Ip address which is accessible to remote machine. By default it is localhost

Update this line in your server.properties:

listeners=PLAINTEXT://<Your-IP-address>:9092

Also make sure you don't have a firewall which might be blocking other IP addresses to reach you. If you have sudo previleges. The try disabling the firewall.

sudo systemctl stop firewalld
