We're seeing the following stack trace on the consumer when brokers are (forcefully) removed from the cluster:

I'm pretty sure this is due to the following logic in getCluster():

    val nodes = getChildrenParentMayNotExist(zkClient, BrokerIdsPath)
    for (node <- nodes) {
      val brokerZKString = readData(zkClient, BrokerIdsPath + "/" + node)._1
      cluster.add(Broker.createBroker(node.toInt, brokerZKString))
    }

which is obviously not safe since the nodes retrieved in the first call may have disappeared by the time we iterate to get the values.

getCluster() seems to only be used in ZookeeperConsumerConnector.syncedRebalance and in ImportZkOffsets.updateZkOffsets (which doesn't actually look like it is using the values), so the simplest solution may be to just move the getCluster() call into the try block in syncedRebalance and kill the usage in the other call.
