Ambari 2.2 Kafka broker.id missing?

hafaouaz — Sat, 26 Dec 2015 07:53:40 GMT

Installing Ambari 2.2, it seem that the kafka properties broker.id is missing, causing kafka broker not to start. Is this a bug? I had to add it to the config as a custom broker.

Solution was to add the missing property, broker.id = 0

I think broker.id is not visible on Ambari, since it is automatically created upon kafka installation.

If you check your server.properties of all the brokers, you will see that they have different broker.id.

Btw, did anyone here put a value on host.name?

I saw on HDP docs that "Leave hostname empty to bind to default interface."

see here. https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.3.4/bk_installing_manually_book/content/configure_kafka.html

Kafka stores the broker.id in a file at time install of meta.properties and it will be forever that number until you delete that file is located kafka logs.dir/meta.properties

#Thu Feb 04 11:50:40 EST 2016 version=0 broker.id=1003

Stop Kafka and Delete and it should recreate
