Start the zookeeper as part of kafka service #76

Closed jayeshu closed 9 years ago

jayeshu commented 9 years ago

I am using this recipe in vagrant VM to install and run kafka as a service. I notice that kafka fails since zookeeper was never started on that VM using service.

[2015-03-04 19:24:01,515] FATAL Fatal error during KafkaServerStable startup. Prepare to shutdown (kafka.server.KafkaServerStartable)
org.I0Itec.zkclient.exception.ZkTimeoutException: Unable to connect to zookeeper server within timeout: 6000
        at org.I0Itec.zkclient.ZkClient.connect(ZkClient.java:880)

If I manually run following 

/opt/kafka/bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh /opt/kafka/config/zookeeper.properties &

then it works.

What should be the right approach for bringing the zookeeper automatically as well ? I only have following in my vagrant file: config.vm.provision "chef_solo" do |chef| chef.cookbooks_path = "cookbooks" chef.add_recipe "kafka::default" end

Startup of Zookeeper was removed from the cookbook in pull request #50.

The ZooKeeper setup was only ever intended to be used for testing purposes during the initial development of this cookbook. I highly recommend that you use a separate cookbook for managing ZooKeeper, as it's a different beast from Kafka. I think the chef-zookeeper cookbook by SimpleFinance is a good place to start.
