Keith Bloomfield updated KAFKA-1968:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
I am using a modified version of the Kafka SimpleConsumer to expose offsets to 
a rest api, based on: 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/0.8.0+SimpleConsumer+Example

However, the behavior of the example is inconsistent with the shell command: 
./kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.ConsumerOffsetChecker ...

In that sometimes it works, and sometimes it returns successfully with an 
embedded error. In other words, the check:

if (response.hasError()) {...}

passes because the response (as far as it's aware) has no error. But if I drop 
in a:

response.toString().contains("error")

then sure enough, there is an error in the response. The error is:

kafka.common.UnknownException

Not sure what is happening in Kafka to result in this behavior.
