Error when restarting consumer

[anand nalya]

Hi,

I'm using High Level Consumer with kafka 0.7.2. The consumer is able to
consume messages from kafka for the first time but when I restart the
consumer process, I'm getting the following error:

2013-06-24 09:48:25 FetchRunnable-0 [ERROR] FetcherRunnable:89 - error in
FetcherRunnable
kafka.network.InvalidRequestException: -2147400679 is not a valid request
size.

I'm not sure how is it getting -2147400679 as the request size. Any ideas
or pointers what may be wrong here?

Thanks,
