Martin Gainty, Thanks for answering.
I was able to solve the issue by running the following: sudo rm -rf /tmp/zookeeper sudo rm -rf /var/lib/zookeeper sudo rm -rf /var/log/zookeeper sudo mkdir -p /tmp/zookeeper sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/zookeeper/data sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/zookeeper/data-log sudo mkdir -p /var/log/zookeeper sudo chown -R zookeeper:zookeeper /var/log/zookeeper/ /var/lib/zookeeper/ /tmp/zookeeper/ best, IPVP On May 28, 2017 at 9:56:43 AM, Martin Gainty (mgai...@hotmail.com<mailto:mgai...@hotmail.com>) wrote: MG>below ________________________________ From: I PVP <i...@hotmail.com> Sent: Saturday, May 27, 2017 12:07 AM To: UserZooKeeper Subject: java.io.EOFException How to recover from the following error that started happening after a server crash?
