当我在本地的机器上把Kafka旋转起来时，我能让它正常工作。但当我试图让它在一个aws示例上工作时，似乎没有什么是正确的。我试着旋转我自己的服务器，就像我在本地旋转zookeeper和kafka一样

curl http://apache.spinellicreations.com/kafka/0.10.0.0/kafka_2.11-0.10.0.0.tgz | tar -xzf

cd kafka_2.11-0.10.0.0 

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

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

我还尝试使用bitami的ami，它似乎是一个多合一的ami。创建主题似乎效果不错。但是当我试图运行控制台生产者我得到一个错误

SEASPAULSON-MAC:kafka_2.11-0.10.0.0 spaulson$ bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list ec2-54-186-31-109.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:9092 --topic test
blah

org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Batch containing 1 record(s) expired due to timeout while requesting metadata from brokers for test-0

当我尝试启动一个不断重复的控制台使用者时，我也会遇到一个错误。

bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper ec2-54-186-31-109.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:2181 --topic test --from-beginning

我觉得这类操作应该是琐碎的，但事实证明这是非常具有挑战性的。我很难找到有关如何诊断问题和找出问题所在的文档。我发现最好的就是这个命令

KAFKA_HOME/bin/kafka-topics.sh --describe --topic test --zookeeper ec2-54-186-31-109.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:2181
Topic:test      PartitionCount:1        ReplicationFactor:1     Configs:
        Topic: test     Partition: 0    Leader: 0       Replicas: 0     Isr: 0

前导：0是否表示出错？但是什么？
