Thanks Neha & Guozhang, When I ran StateChangeLogMerger, I am seeing this message repeated 16 times for each partition:
[2013-08-27 12:30:02,535] INFO [ReplicaFetcherManager on broker 1] Removing fetcher for partition [test-60,13] (kafka.server.ReplicaFetcherManager) [2013-08-27 12:30:02,536] INFO [Log Manager on Broker 1] Created log for partition [test-60,13] in /home/relango/dev/mandm/kafka/main/target/dist/mandm-kafka/kafka-data. (kafka.log.LogManager) I am also seeing .log and .index files created for this topic in data dir. Also list topic command shows leaders, replicas and isrs for all partitions. Do you still think increasing num of retries would help or is it some other issue..? Also console Producer doesn't seem to have option to set num of retries. Is there a way to configure num of retries for console producer ? Thanks, Raja.
