             Summary: Cannot produce messages remotely: No partition metadata for topic test due to kafka.common.LeaderNotAvailableException
                 Key: KAFKA-2286
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2286
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: producer 
    Affects Versions: 0.8.2.1
         Environment: CentOS 7 /  Oracle jdk1.8.0_45 
            Reporter: Mike Bridge
            Assignee: Jun Rao
            Priority: Critical


I successfully ran the QuickStart tutorial locally on a single EC2 machine.  I stopped everything running on the server, deleted the logs in /tmp, and added the single line "advertised.host.name=MY.EXTERNAL.IP" to server.properties.  (Port 9092 is indeed allowed through the firewall and responding, so no problem there.)

I then restarted the server and successfully created a topic as per the QuickStart tutorial. 

Then, I ran the producer in exactly the same way as in the QuickStart tutorial, except on a remote machine:  

     bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list MY.EXTERNAL.IP:9092 --topic test

This generates the following error: 
    
    WARN Error while fetching metadata [{TopicMetadata for topic test123 -> No partition metadata for topic test123 due to kafka.common.LeaderNotAvailableException}] for topic [test123]: class kafka.common.LeaderNotAvailableException (kafka.producer.BrokerPartitionInfo)

I've spent several evenings trying to get this simple Kafka setup to work but am stuck. It seems like it should work.
