I'am trying to run kafka from ambari UI. sandbox hdp. it does not start. i checked the log the error is :
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error creating broker listeners from 'sandbox-hdp.hortonworks.com:9092': Unable to parse sandbox-hdp.hortonworks.com:9092 to a broker $.
It seems this was resolved on the Cloudera Community. The key conclusion:
It's worked for me after changing my listener ip from localhost to exact ip of virtualbox.
