I am trying to write data on kafka topic but, stuck with some errors. Below are my configuration & error details.

Kubernetes Service:

kubectl get services
NAME            TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)                      AGE

Kubernetes Pods:

kubectl get pods

Topic test is created successfully in Kafka as shown below:

docker exec k8s_kafka_kafka-broker0-69c97b67f-4pmw9_default_a747d38a-0da6-11e9-bd84-fa163e7d3173_1 /opt/kafka_2.12-2.1.0/bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper zoo1:2181
OR
docker exec k8s_kafka_kafka-broker0-69c97b67f-4pmw9_default_a747d38a-0da6-11e9-bd84-fa163e7d3173_1 /opt/kafka_2.12-2.1.0/bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper 10.101.3.128:2181

Output of above command:

test

As the topic is available to write data on it, I had executed below command with host machine IP 10.225.36.98 or with service IP 10.105.214.246 :

kubectl exec kafka-broker0-69c97b67f-4pmw9 -c kafka -i -t -- 
/opt/kafka_2.12-2.1.0/bin/kafka-console-producer.sh [ --broker-list 
10.225.36.98:30998  --topic test ]
>{"k":"v"}

But none of them is working for me & throw below exception:

[2019-01-01 09:26:52,215] ERROR Error when sending message to topic test with key: null, value: 9 bytes with error:

Connection to node -1 (/10.225.36.98:30998) could not be established. Broker may not be available. (org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient)

When tried to write on broker with hostname kafka:

kubectl exec kafka-broker0-69c97b67f-4pmw9 -c kafka -i -t -- /opt/kafka_2.12-2.1.0/bin/kafka-console-producer.sh [ --broker-list kafka:9092  --topic test ]

org.apache.kafka.common.KafkaException: Failed to construct kafka producer

As the host & service IP were not working, I tried with pod IP, but get test=LEADER_NOT_AVAILABLE error.

kubectl exec kafka-broker0-69c97b67f-4pmw9 -c kafka -i -t -- /opt/kafka_2.12-2.1.0/bin/kafka-console-producer.sh [ --broker-list 172.17.0.7:9092  --topic test ]

After searching Google I found command to get list of available brokers in Zookeeper. So I tried to run it from container & stuck on below error:

bash-4.4# ./opt/zookeeper/bin/zkCli.sh -server zoo1:2181 ls /brokers/ids
Connecting to zoo1:2181

Exception from Zookeeper:

I also tried to create Kafka service of type LoadBalancer type, but, No LoadBalancer IP is assigned to service.
