Some googling indicates that there are issues on AWS / EC2 when using the
private IP, and its recommended to use the public ip as the advertised
hostname instead.
I have zookeeper and Kafka both running on EC2, and both are in the same
availability zone, so both should be able to talk to each
I've created a 3 broker kafka cluster, changing only the config values for
broker id, log.dirs, and zookeeper connect. I left the remaining fields as
default.
The broker ids are 1, 2, 3. I opened the port 9092 on AWS.
I then created a topic 'test' with replication factor of 2, and 3
partitions.
