kafka consumer does not receinve messages

[#1]

Hi all,

we are building a small kafka env, 4 nodes: 01.node, 02.node, 03.node, 04.node

the topic creation:

/usr/bin/kafka-topics --zookeeper 01.node:2181 --create --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic mytest

the producer and brokers:

/usr/bin/kafka-console-producer --broker-list 03.node,04.node:9092 --topic mytest

the consumer:

/usr/bin/kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server 01.node:2181 --topic mytest --from-beginning

the weird stuff is that consumer statement does not accept the --zookeeper option, so we put --bootstrap-server instead of it

everything seems good: producer waits for input, consumer seems waiting for messages...

but when you enter input (a string CRLF ended) on the producer, nothing happens on the consumer side...

no mesg arrive

any ideas? what we are going wrong?

thanks, bye marco

brokers seems to receive messages (see attached picture) and connections from brokers (netstat -na) seems ok but consumer does not yet receive...
