Flume is not able to send the events to kafka over kerberoized cluter

[#1]

Hello   I am getting the below exception everytime when I process the message from Flume to Kafka over kerberos . The below error coming in flume log also below is flume.log used. Please suggest what is the reason for this error ?

Can you upload, Kafka and Flume config?

[#4]

Just to confirm, what version of CDH are you using?

-pd

This seems to indicate that your listeners are not set up correctly:
2017-09-06 16:30:54,654 INFO kafka.producer.SyncProducer: Connected to :9092 for producing

In the kafka configuration, are you setting a safety valve for the listeners property? If you are using something like:
listeners=SASL_PLAINTEXT://0.0.0.0:9092

Then that requires that you also set a unique advertised.listeners property with the hostname that clients will connect to (as they can't connect to 0.0.0.0)

Do you need kafka to listen on multiple addresses? If not, then you don't need to specify the listeners safety valve.
