Kafka Problems

Yes, an entire entry dedicated to kafka problems.

We love kafka! 😡

"There is no leader for this topic-partition as we are in the middle of a leadership election"

This seems to happen because the kafka broker gets assigned

Known workarounds:

• Delete all topics:

  ./kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --delete --topic '.*'

• Recreate all containers so that zookeeper might forget it existed before:

  deployment/dev/devenv.sh up --force-recreate kafka zookeeper kafdrop kafka-manager
