Any idea? Is there a way around this? Can I force rebalance? It's a new Kafka instance, nothing to save

Can you please try increasing the zookeeper.session.timeout.ms parameter to some higher value?

@Timothy Spann

can you confirm your brokers are up? Please check the broker logs and paste here if issue is not obvious.

The brokers were up, I shutdown everything and restarted the box and everything was okay.

This is for the sandbox.
