The group coordinator is not available-Kafka

When I am write a topic to kafka,there is an error:Offset commit failed:

2016-10-29 14:52:56.387 INFO [nioEventLoopGroup-3-1][org.apache.kafka.common.utils.AppInfoParser$AppInfo:82] - Kafka version : 0.9.0.1

When create a new topic using command,it is ok.

./kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --create --topic test1 --partitions 1 --replication-factor 1 --config max.message.bytes=64000 --config flush.messages=1

This is the producer code using Java：

public void create() {
        Properties props = new Properties();
        props.clear();
        String producerServer = PropertyReadHelper.properties.getProperty("kafka.producer.bootstrap.servers");
        String zookeeperConnect = PropertyReadHelper.properties.getProperty("kafka.producer.zookeeper.connect");
        String metaBrokerList = PropertyReadHelper.properties.getProperty("kafka.metadata.broker.list");
        props.put("bootstrap.servers", producerServer);
        props.put("zookeeper.connect", zookeeperConnect);//声明ZooKeeper
        props.put("metadata.broker.list", metaBrokerList);//声明kafka broker
        props.put("acks", "all");
        props.put("retries", 0);
        props.put("batch.size", 1000);
        props.put("linger.ms", 10000);
        props.put("buffer.memory", 10000);
        props.put("key.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
        props.put("value.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
        producer = new KafkaProducer<String, String>(props);
    }

Where is wrong？

I faced a similar issue. The problem was when you start your Kafka broker there is a property associated with it, KAFKA_OFFSETS_TOPIC_REPLICATION_FACTOR.

If you are working with a single node cluster make sure you set this property with the value 1. As its default value is 3. This change resolved my problem. You can check the value in the Kafka.properties file.

Note: I was using base image of confluent Kafka version 4.0.0 ( confluentinc/cp-kafka:4.0.0)
