Kafka-avro-console-consumer consumes 0 messages while kafka-console-consumer consumes properly

[George @paytm.com]

Hi,

I am using 1.0.1 release ,and I run into the problem below.

1. Kafka-avro-console-consumer shows "consumed 0 message", even if my topic has message in it, and I consume from the beginning

2. From the same node as 1), kafka-console-consumer can consume and print all messages in the topic in its binary form, as expected

3. I tried kafka rest proxy from the same node, consumer creation POST call is successful, but the consumption GET call always gives me 

{"error_code":40403,"message":"Consumer instance not found}

thrown by io.confluent.kafkarest.ConsumerManager.getConsumerInstance

4. To isolate the problem, I tried step 1) in step 3's rest proxy node, and kafka-avro-console-consumer consumes successfully.

Any idea what might go wrong? 

Thanks,

George

Turns out I didnt put --property schema.registry.url=SCHEMA_REGISTRY_HOST in my avro console consumer command.

IMO, the tooltip and documentation should include this piece of information. I could not find it on the website.

George,

Is the issue all resolved?

I'll file note of the need to review this in our documentation.  Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Cheers,

Jeff

It is all good now since my avro console consumer was pinging localhost:8081 (default value of schema.registry.url), while on a remote host.
