Per this document at Kafka tutoria
Zookeper is started at port 2181 Broker/Kafka started at 9092
Start Producer to Send Messages
bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic Hello-Kafka // producer is producing directly to broker not zookeeper which is correct
Start Consumer to Receive Messages
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 —topic Hello-Kafka --from-beginning
Per mine understanding consumer consumes message directly from broker but in above consumer command we did not mention broker but only zookeeper. Will consumer connect to zookeeper(instead of broker) to consume message ?
