I have few questions regarding Kafka Consumer. In kafka properties we only mention the zookeeper ip's to connect to. But I assume the consumer also connects to Kafka broker for actually consuming the messages.
We have firewall enabled on ports, so in order to connect from my consumer I need to open port for both zookeeper and kafka. Is my assumption correct? Also does the consumer also connects on the broker port (which is 9092 by default)? -- *Regards,* *Ravi*
