title: Error creating Kafka Topics- Replication factor larger than available brokers
body: <p>I am trying to create topics in Kafka by following the guide on Apache Kafka website through command line.
  While running the command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic test
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the error as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error while executing topic command replication factor: 1 larger than available
  brokers: 0
  kafka.admin.AdminOperationException: replication factor: 1 larger than available
   brokers: 0
