Docker Kafka Broker Not Starting: No Error Logs - Tech Support Guide
In this guide, we will cover the steps to troubleshoot and resolve a common issue faced when setting up Apache Druid on a M3 chip laptop, where the Kafka broker does not start, without any error logs.
Background and Context
Druid is a high-performance, column-oriented, distributed data store designed to power interactive analytics applications. It is often used in conjunction with Kafka, a distributed streaming platform, for real-time data ingestion.
In this specific case, the user is facing an issue where the Kafka broker, which is a part of the Apache Druid Docker image, does not start, and no error logs are generated. This makes it difficult to identify the root cause of the problem.
Troubleshooting Steps
To troubleshoot this issue, the following steps can be taken:
-
First, it is important to make sure that Docker is running correctly on the M3 chip laptop. This can be checked by running the command
docker infoin a terminal. -
Next, try running the Apache Druid Docker image using the command
docker run -it --rm -p 8088:8088 -p 8100-8105:8100-8105 -p 8200-8201:8200-8201 -p 8888:8888 -p 9091:9091 druid/druid:0.20.0. -
Once the image is running, check the status of the Kafka broker by running the command
docker ps. -
If the Kafka broker is not running, check the logs using the command
docker logs <container_id>where<container_id>is the ID of the Apache Druid Docker container. -
If there are no logs generated, it is possible that the Kafka broker is not starting due to a configuration issue. In this case, the configuration files within the container can be checked and modified as needed.
