I'm working on a project that I hope to use the SimpleConsumer on. I'm trying to write some test code around our code that is wrapping the SimpleConsumer.
The environment is 1 kafka broker, and 1 zookeeper The test goes like this: Create a topic ("foo", 1 partition, 1 replica) Create a Producer, and send a message Create a SimpleConsumer, and try to read the offset Failure with: NotCoordinatorForConsumerException If I continue to require for an extended period, I continue to get that exception. As near as I can tell, the topic metadata says there is a leader, but the the broker thinks it's being rebalanced. I've done the above test immediately after stop, clean out old data, and restart both zookeeper and kafka. Suggestions welcome.
