Kafka Consumer: No entry found for connection

Question

I am trying to check the kafka consumer by consuming the data from a topic on a remote Kafka cluster. I am getting the following error when I use the kafka-console-consumer.sh:

 ERROR Error processing message, terminating consumer process:  (kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$)
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No entry found for connection 2147475658

Here is the command that I use:

./bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server SSL://{IP}:{PORT},SSL://{IP}:{PORT},SSL://{IP}:{PORT} --consumer.config ./config/consumer.properties --topic MYTOPIC --group MYGROUP

Here is the ./config/consumer.properties file:

bootstrap.servers=SSL://{IP}:{PORT},SSL://{IP}:{PORT},SSL://{IP}:{PORT}

# consumer group id
group.id=MYGROUP

# What to do when there is no initial offset in Kafka or if the current
# offset does not exist any more on the server: latest, earliest, none
auto.offset.reset=earliest

Do you have any idea what the problem is?

Answer 1

I have found the problem. It was a DNS problem at the end. I was reaching out the Kafka brokers by the IP addresses, but the broker replies with DNS name. After setting the DNS names on the consumer side, it started working again.
