Kafka Cluster fail to start if one instance of zookeeper not up

[safique ahemad <sa...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

Below are two scenarios that are failing
1) 3 node zookeeper cluster and 3 node Kafka cluster: One of zookeeper node
was down due to some reason when Kafka cluster started, none of its stances
came up. All are failing with connectivity to down zookeeper instance.
Whereas, Kafka contains zookeeper host port as list of all the zookeepers.

1) 5 node zookeeper cluster and 3 node Kafka cluster: same behavior as
above.

I was expecting, Kafka cluster should come up. because 3 zookeeper cluster
can tolerate 1 failure and 5 zookeeper cluster 2 failure. If one zookeeper
instance is not up then that should not make a difference.

I am not sure, if is right behavior?

Please, suggest.
