Yes, using the latest Kafka 0.7.2, just tried to reproduce again
1. Install a single node Kafka, three nodes zookeeper instances
kafka1
zookeeper1
zookeeper2
zookeeper3
2. Using a simple Kafka config, able to start without error in the log
brokerid=1
log.dir=/data/kafka
zk.connect=zookeeper1:2181,zookeeper2:2181,zookeeper3:2181
3. Now, create a path in zookeeper1
zkCli.sh -server zookeeper1:2181
ls /
[consumers, brokers, zookeeper]
create /testkafka ''
ls /
[testkafka, consumers, brokers, zookeeper]
Quit & Done.
4. Verify from zookeeper2
zkCli.sh -server zookeeper2:2181
ls /
[testkafka, consumers, brokers, zookeeper]
Seems ok
4. Update kafka config and restart
zk.connect=zookeeper1:2181/testkafka,zookeeper2:2181/testkafka,zookeeper3:2181/testkafka
Restart and have the error
[2013-04-19 05:35:14,846] FATAL Fatal error during KafkaServerStable
startup. Prepare to shutdown (kafka.server.KafkaServerStartable)
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path length must be > 0

..
Any idea?
