Kafka configuration issue on Hadoop Bigdata Cluster

HI, I have recently configured Kafka services on our Big Data Cluster. However, I am encountering the following issues on the Kafka broker and while establishing Kafka connections:

Issues Observed:
Broker error:  Bad : There are 81 offline partitions.

kafka.controller.ControllerEventManager$ControllerEventThread.$anonfun$doWork$1(ControllerEventManager.scala:131)
  at scala.runtime.java8.JFunction0$mcV$sp.apply(JFunction0$mcV$sp.java:23)
  at kafka.metrics.KafkaTimer.time(KafkaTimer.scala:31)
  at kafka.controller.ControllerEventManager$ControllerEventThread.doWork(ControllerEventManager.scala:131)
  at kafka.utils.ShutdownableThread.run(ShutdownableThread.scala:96)

kafka connect error: [Worker clientId=connect-1, groupId=connect-cluster] Uncaught exception in herder work thread, exiting: 
org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Failed to get offsets by times in 30000ms

Cloudera Bigdata Cluster configuration:

Totol data node 7:
master nodes: 3
and edge node 2

kafka configuration:

Brokers configured on Datanode1, 2 and 3
Gateway selected all nodes

Requesting your assistance in identifying and resolving these errors at your earliest convenience.
