mm better to show the message

how can i check if the partition leader is up for the __consumer_offset?

bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper $ZOOKEEPER_HOSTS --describe

Will get you the config

Leader is per partition, so it's not as simple as 1 leader for the whole offset topic

But check Isr at the end. If a broker is down, it won't be listed as in sync

If the leader is down, it won't be listed as in sync (though Kafka should have elected a different leader in that case)

Add a --topic __consumer_offsets to just get that topci

mmm @Carr0t so basically my problem is that consumers seem not to be able to use the __consumer_offset

the __consumer_offsets topic is not initialized completely yet.

thats the message i get, but i understand that is tied to my consumer

That's not an error I've seen before I'm afraid

mm ok, do i need to specify something so consumers can use __consumer_offset?

or should it be on by default?

Should Just Work (tm)

Assuming you're using an up-to-date Kafka

yes, using 0.10.2.1

could it be that i only have 1 broker/

?
