-------------------------------
Do you have other ZK hosts in your connection string?
> UnknownHostError looking for a ZK node crashes the broker
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-620
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-620
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 0.7.1
> Environment: linux. Amazon's AMI
> Reporter: Matthew Rathbone
>
> If you totally kill a zookeeper node so that it's hostname no longer resolves
> to anything, the broker will die with a java.net.UnknownHostException.
> You will then be unable to restart the broker until the unknown host(s) is
> removed from the server.properties.
> We ran into this issue while testing our resilience to widespread AWS
> outages, if you can point me to the right place, I could have a go at fixing
> it? Unfortunately, I suspect the issue might be in the non-standard Zookeeper
> library that kafka uses.
