Consumer not receiving messages, kafka console, new consumer api, Kafka 0.9

Question

I am doing the Kafka Quickstart for Kafka 0.9.0.0.

I have zookeeper listening at localhost:2181 because I ran

bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties 

I have a single broker listening at localhost:9092 because I ran

bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties 

I have a producer posting to topic "test" because I ran

bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic test yello is this thing on? let's try another gimme more 

When I run the old API consumer, it works by running

bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic test --from-beginning 

However, when I run the new API consumer, I don't get anything when I run

bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --new-consumer --topic test --from-beginning \     --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 

Is it possible to subscribe to a topic from the console consumer using the new api? How can I fix it?

Answer 1

I my MAC box I was facing the same issue of console-consumer not consuming any messages when used the command

kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9095 --from-beginning --topic my-replicated-topic 

But when I tried with

kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9095 --from-beginning --topic my-replicated-topic --partition 0 

It happily lists the messages sent. Is this a bug in Kafka 1.10.11?
