help!Kafka failover do not work as expected in Kafka quick start tutorial

[夏昀 <ki...@126.com>]

hello:
I am trying the quickstart of kafka documentation,link is, https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart. when I moved to Step 6: Setting up a multi-broker cluster,I have deployed 3 kafka broker instance.I killed either server-1 or server-2, everything goes well as the document says. But when I killed the firet broker where brokeID=0, the consumer can't read the new records produced by producer. When I restart the broker 0,consumer can display new messages. why the system work well when broker1 or broker 2 is killed,but can't work when broker 0 is killed?
can you explain this for me, thank you very much!

Do you list all three brokers on your consumers bootstrap-server list?
