Mirror command below:-

./kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.MirrorMaker --consumer.config /usr/hdp/current/kafka-broker/config/consumer_mirr.properties --producer.config /usr/hdp/current/kafka-broker/config/producer_mirr.properties --whitelist MukeshTest --new.consumer

[#3]

Are you using the new Kafka consumer? (The bootstrap.servers property is required for the new consumer.)

[#4]

Thanks @lgeorge for your response.

i have tried with and without new consumer and same error message.

[#5]

There is a bootstrap.servers property (see https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/24599/kafka-mirrormaker.html) but I'm not sure when it's required. I'll see if I can find someone who has more info.
