Kafka broker disconnecting from node due to socket connection timeout

Andy1989 — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 12:55:21 GMT

Hello,I am a beginner starting to learn Kafka and Cloudera. I am running a simple java code for producer,and am using Cloudera SMM through Docker Desktop. On running my java code,I keep getting this error-"Disconnecting from node 1001 due to socket connection setup timeout". There are no issues in my code or pom. I am using Java Maven in VSCode. Please help me to fix this issue

Hello @Andy1989 ,

"socket connection setup timeout" sounds like some network issue on client side.

May I know you specify Kafka broker address and port in your code?

Is the address solvable from client side and is the port number of Kafka broker correct?

This is my producer code-

import java.util.Properties;

import org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.KafkaProducer;

import org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.ProducerRecord;

import org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.RecordMetadata;

public class new_producer {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Properties prop = new Properties();

prop.setProperty("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092");

prop.setProperty("key.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");

prop.setProperty("value.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.IntegerSerializer");

KafkaProducer<String, Integer> producer = new KafkaProducer<String, Integer>(prop);

ProducerRecord<String, Integer> record = new ProducerRecord<String, Integer>("OrderTopic", "tddgfhj laptops", 15);

//ProducerRecord<String, Integer> recordtwo = new ProducerRecord<String, Integer>("OrderTopic", "Dell desktops", 15);

try {

RecordMetadata recordMetadata = producer.send(record).get();// synchronous call,waiting

//RecordMetadata recordMetadatatwo = producer.send(recordtwo).get();

System.out.println(recordMetadata.partition());

System.out.println(recordMetadata.offset());

//System.out.println(recordMetadatatwo.partition());

//System.out.println(recordMetadatatwo.offset());

System.err.println("Message sent");

} catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

} finally {

producer.close();

}

} This is my consumer code-

import java.time.Duration;

import java.time.LocalDateTime;

import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

import java.util.Arrays;

import java.util.Properties;

import org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.ConsumerRecords;

import org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.ConsumerConfig;

import org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.ConsumerRecord;

import org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.KafkaConsumer;

import org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer;

import org.apache.kafka.common.errors.WakeupException;

public class new_consumer {

public static void main(String[] args)

{

System.out.println("I am a Kafka Consumer");

String bootstrapServers = "localhost:9092";

String groupId = "salesOrder-Consumers1";

String topic = "OrderTopic";

// create consumer configs

Properties properties = new Properties();

properties.setProperty(ConsumerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, bootstrapServers);

properties.setProperty(ConsumerConfig.KEY_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringDeserializer.class.getName());

properties.setProperty(ConsumerConfig.VALUE_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringDeserializer.class.getName());

properties.setProperty(ConsumerConfig.GROUP_ID_CONFIG, groupId);

properties.setProperty(ConsumerConfig.AUTO_OFFSET_RESET_CONFIG, "earliest");

// create consumer

KafkaConsumer<String, String> consumer = new KafkaConsumer<>(properties);

//System.out.println(consumer.position(tp));

// get a reference to the current thread

final Thread mainThread = Thread.currentThread();

// adding the shutdown hook

Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread() {

public void run() {

System.out.println("Detected a shutdown, let's exit by calling consumer.wakeup()...");

consumer.wakeup();

// join the main thread to allow the execution of the code in the main thread

try {

mainThread.join();

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

});

try {

// subscribe consumer to our topic(s)

consumer.subscribe(Arrays.asList(topic));

DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy/MM/dd");

LocalDateTime now = LocalDateTime.now();

System.out.println(dtf.format(now));

while (true) {

ConsumerRecords<String, String> records =

consumer.poll(Duration.ofMillis(100));

for (ConsumerRecord<String, String> record : records) {

//FW.write(record.value()+(","));

System.out.println("Key: " + record.key() + ", Value: " + record.value());

System.out.println("Partition: " + record.partition() + ", Offset:" + record.offset());

}

catch (WakeupException e) {

System.out.println("Wake up exception!");

// we ignore this as this is an expected exception when closing a consumer

} catch (Exception e) {

System.out.println("Unexpected exception " + e.getMessage());

}

finally {

consumer.close(); // this will also commit the offsets if need be.

System.out.println("The consumer is now gracefully closed.");

}

} ....can you please help me out?

The Kafka broker address is specified as "localhost". Is the broker running on the same host as the producer？I guess not.

prop.setProperty("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092");

Please use IP address or hostname of the host where your Kafka broker is running and try again.
