Kafka - Metadata request

[#1]

Hi there,

I am running kafka on console for testing purpose. While executing kafka-consumer.sh, I am getting a message continuously without stopping like below:

{metadata.broker.list=xxxxxxxv.xxxxxxx.com:7xx3,dpxxxxxxx.bxxxx.com:7xxx, request.timeout.ms=30000, client.id=console-consumer-xx36x, security.protocol=PLAINTEXT}

metadata.broker.list=xxxxxxxv.xxxxxxx.com:7xx3,dpxxxxxxx.bxxxx.com:7xxx, request.timeout.ms=30000, client.id=console-consumer-xx36x, security.protocol=PLAINTEXT}

metadata.broker.list=xxxxxxxv.xxxxxxx.com:7xx3,dpxxxxxxx.bxxxx.com:7xxx, request.timeout.ms=30000, client.id=console-consumer-xx36x, security.protocol=PLAINTEXT}

This message keeps on going until i stop this. Please share your knowledge on this to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

Can you provide full command you are using? kafka consume should be used like this:

bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic test --from-beginning
