How to retrieve zookeeper host details from Kafka brokerslist

Question

I have list of Brokers for my Kafka cluster. How can I get the zookeeper host using Brokerslist?

Answer 1

If I got your question right you want to register your brokers at a zookeeper cluster. This actually works the other way round: You have to tell each broker where your zookeeper-server (or cluster) can be found. Have a look at the broker configuration setting zookeeper.connect. Together with the broker.id it will register each broker at the zookeeper cluster.

Example:

broker.id=1
zookeeper.connect=zk-host-1:2181,zk-host-2:2181,zk-host-3:2181

Hope that answers your question.
