Kafka 0.10 Java Client TimeoutException: Batch containing 1 record(s) expired

Question

I have a single node, multi (3) broker Zookeeper / Kafka setup. I am using the Kafka 0.10 Java client.

I wrote following simple remote (on a different Server than Kafka) Producer (in the code I replaced my public IP address with MYIP):

Properties config = new Properties();
try {
    config.put(ProducerConfig.CLIENT_ID_CONFIG, InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName());
    config.put(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, "MYIP:9092, MYIP:9093, MYIP:9094");
    config.put(ProducerConfig.ACKS_CONFIG, "all");
    config.put(ProducerConfig.KEY_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
    config.put(ProducerConfig.VALUE_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.ByteArraySerializer");
    producer = new KafkaProducer<String, byte[]>(config);
    Schema.Parser parser = new Schema.Parser();
    schema = parser.parse(GATEWAY_SCHEMA);
    recordInjection = GenericAvroCodecs.toBinary(schema);
    GenericData.Record avroRecord = new GenericData.Record(schema);
    //Filling in avroRecord (code not here)
    byte[] bytes = recordInjection.apply(avroRecord);

    Future<RecordMetadata> future = producer.send(new ProducerRecord<String, byte[]>(datasetId+"", "testKey", bytes));
    RecordMetadata data = future.get();
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

My server properties for the 3 brokers look like this (in the 3 different server properties files broker.id is 0, 1, 2 and listeners is PLAINTEXT://:9092, PLAINTEXT://:9093, PLAINTEXT://:9094 and host.name is 10.2.0.4, 10.2.0.5, 10.2.0.6). This is the first server properties file:

broker.id=0
listeners=PLAINTEXT://:9092
num.network.threads=3
num.io.threads=8
socket.send.buffer.bytes=102400
socket.receive.buffer.bytes=102400
socket.request.max.bytes=104857600
log.dirs=/tmp/kafka1-logs
num.partitions=1
num.recovery.threads.per.data.dir=1
log.retention.hours=168
log.segment.bytes=1073741824
log.retention.check.interval.ms=300000
zookeeper.connect=localhost:2181
zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms=6000

When I execute the code, I get following exception:

java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Batch containing 1 record(s) expired due to timeout while requesting metadata from brokers for 100101-0

Does anyone know what I am missing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot

Answer 1

I encounter the same problems.

You should change your kafka server.properties to specify ip address. eg:

PLAINTEXT://YOUIP:9093

if not, kafka will use hostname, if the producer can not get the host, it can not send message to kafka even if you can telnet them.

Answer 2

Port information in your BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG configuration is incorrect (MYIP:9092).

As you've mentioned in server.properties as "PLAINTEXT://:9093, PLAINTEXT://:9093, PLAINTEXT://:9094".
