Just a note here: the kafka bootstrap server, which you are pointing to, returns a list of hostnames pointing to the actual kafka brokers. Because those are not visible/accessible from where you are running the seldon cli, the cli cannot connect to them and the error you've described pops up.

In other words, it's not sufficient to simply expose the kafka bootstrap server via a port forward.

I don't think this is a bug per-se, but we'll take it as an improvement request that the seldon pipeline inspect command should work better with the kafka install from within a k8s cluster.
