I am new to Kafka and try to setup enviroment for it . I am trying to run a single node Kafka but I am getting error in that.

Following following steps on mac

1. brew install zookeeper
2. brew install kafka
3. zkServer start
4.  kafka-server-start.sh /usr/local/etc/kafka/server.properties
5.bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic test
6.bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic test 
This is a message

But I am getting following error. Please let me know , if I missed anything

Solution 1

Alok, This very common issue of port and host.
Could you please confirm the HOST and PORT for Zookeeper and Kafka Broker. I'm assuming you have configured Kafka in your local so make sure you are providing proper host name.

Run bellow command to make sure the Zookeeper and Kafka Broker running on port which you have mentioned in your command :

netstat -a | grep port

Please let me know if you still face any issue.

Solution 2

The problem on my side has been solved by setting the value localhost to the following properties inside the config/server.properties file:

host.name
advertised.host.name

I am starting with default configuration . I didnt change zookeeper.properties.

[Alok]

Hi, Port seems correct to me. I verified in zoo.cfg and server.properties. I am using localhost in place of hostname.

[Bector]

can you run command "hostname" on your CLI and verify what is the hostname for your machine.

[mohsenmadi]

Thanks, this worked for me. I will also add the need to setting advertised.port=yourPortNum, specially if running on a local machine and the brokers have different ports.

[marengaz]

these are now deprecated you can just remove them in favour of listeners or advertised.listeners
