fwiw, sometimes what people do is a DNS like mybrokerlist.mycompany.com and put that in the producer properties ... this way if the initial broker it connects to is no longer there DNS can change IP to broker that is for the inital meta data request on startup connection (or put 2 IP in there round robin DNS).

> Producer should just query the zookeeper and get the list of brokers from it directly.
> With the current requirement the producer explicitly needs to know the ips of all the brokers. So if you decide to replace them, you have to change the Producer's code. 
> Isnt the whole point of using a zookeeper to avoid these kind of dependencies?
