Kafka Error

[sundy-li]

Hi, this is the kafka server error, not the sarama client error, and when this error occurs, just use $KAFKA_HOME/bin/kafka-topics.sh --describe --topic $topic --zookeeper $zk command to show the status of the topic, and you will see the leader is -1 for this partition.

Possiable ways to solve it

1. I suggest you to create the topic by manual to specify the partition number and the replicate number instead of auto-create by client with default value

2. modify the kafka server config, improve the zookeeper connect timeout value and then restart kafka server

3. Maybe your system io is too high, use iostatto debug about it

1. I recommend you not to install kafka cluster by docker, try the install guide here https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart

2. If you still want to install kafka cluster by docker,I have made a docker script before, try https://github.com/sundy-li/kafka-cluster
