KafkaException: Wrong request type 18

I recently attempted to consume messages from a Kafka topic and was greeted with the following error message:

[2016-08-15 17:56:05,025] INFO Closing socket connection to /192.168.34.11. (kafka.network.Processor)

As you can perhaps tell from the error message, the kafka broker is mapped to localhost - but beyond that, I can't really parse it, and it's been hard to find details on the error message "Wrong request type 18".

Anyone else have this issue?

Solution

  • The error seems to have gone away, but I don't think I made any changes; I'm not sure what happened exactly. Sorry for the useless question.
