Cookbook installation failing at Recipe: kafka::_configure. [ undefined method `root_logger' for #Mash:0x00000004fc62b0 ]

[BalasekharNelli12]

Hi, I am using v2.2.0 [ from Supermarket], it was working good since last week. But, all of sudden, getting the below issue. And cookbook is failing to install.

kafka cookbook version: v2.2.0 chef version: 13.0.118

_> Below is the log:

Recipe: kafka::_configure

• directory[/opt/kafka/config] action create (up to date)

• template[/opt/kafka/config/log4j.properties] action create ======================================================================= Error executing action create on resource 'template[/opt/kafka/config/log4j.properties]' ======================================================================= Chef::Mixin::Template::TemplateError

  undefined method `rootlogger' for #Mash:0x00000004fc62b0

Thanks, Balasekhar

Alright, so this is because of Chef 13 and would explain why it worked perfectly fine last week but now not so much. Forgot that Chef 13 was slated for this week (and not next), and I'm currently looking into backporting support for Chef 13.

Should hopefully have a release out later today.

[mthssdrbrg]

Release got delayed a bit, but there's a 2.2.2 release on Supermarket that should (hopefully) work with Chef 13 (don't know if there are any corner cases...).

If you run into further issues feel free to re-open this issue.

Hi @mthssdrbrg, Thanks for the prompt response. We are facing different issue now. Kafka service failed to restart.

Below is thelog:

       _Error executing action `start` on resource 'service[kafka]'

Hm, well, that could be for a myriad of reasons. Do you get any logs? What's your configuration like?

Hi @mthssdrbrg , Kafka cookbook with v2.2.0 with chef 12.19.36 worked well till yesterday. It's failing when I tried to converge [ using Test Kitchen CI ]. Below is the log:

I'm unfortunately unable to reproduce this locally. Though it should be said that if you're just using the .kitchen.yml in this repository the Chef run converges successfully and it (attempts) to start Kafka, but the process will actually die after a timeout as it attempts to talk to a non-existing ZooKeeper.

Do you get any logs in /var/log/kafka? What's your configuration like?

[BalasekharNelli12]

A log file got created in "/var/log/kafka" with name kafka-gc.log. Log is as below:

I am converging in AWS on t2.micro instance.

[BalasekharNelli12]

It is working with m4.large. I guess it is the issue with instance performance.

[mthssdrbrg]

Aha, then I suspect it's because the default heap size is set to 1G, and it (t2.micro) has exactly that much RAM, which mostly will have the JVM fail to start properly.
