title: Kafka - shutting down (kafka.server.KafkaServer), problems with starting Kafka-Server-Start
body: <p>I'll start from the beginning. I have openSuse 13.2, i also have jdk_1.7.0_51, scala-2.11.4 and gradle-2.2.1. I have downloaded source of kafka-0.8.2-bet-src and run ./gradlew commands as they where written in readme file. All commands where ran with success, except test (93% where successful, 19 failed) btw i got my releaseTarGz (kafka_2.11-0.8.2-beta.tgz). So everything goes right, i run zookeeper and it's starting right, but when i run kafka-server-start i get:</p>

  #host.name=localhost
  
  # Hostname the broker will advertise to producers and consumers. If not set, it uses the

  # java.net.InetAddress.getCanonicalHostName().

  ############################# Log Basics #############################
  
  # A comma seperated list of directories under which to store log files
  log.dirs=/tmp/kafka-logs
  
  # The default number of log partitions per topic. More partitions allow greater
  # parallelism for consumption, but this will also result in more files across
  # the brokers.
  num.partitions=1
  
  # The number of threads per data directory to be used for log recovery at startup and flushing at shutdown.
  # This value is recommended to be increased for installations with data dirs located in RAID array.
  num.recovery.threads.per.data.dir=1
  
  ############################# Log Flush Policy #############################
  
  # Messages are immediately written to the filesystem but by default we only fsync() to sync
  # the OS cache lazily. The following configurations control the flush of data to disk. 
  # There are a few important trade-offs here:
  #    1. Durability: Unflushed data may be lost if you are not using replication.
  #    2. Latency: Very large flush intervals may lead to latency spikes when the flush does occur as there will be a lot of data to flush.
  #    3. Throughput: The flush is generally the most expensive operation, and a small flush interval may lead to exceessive seeks. 
  # The settings below allow one to configure the flush policy to flush data after a period of time or
  # every N messages (or both). This can be done globally and overridden on a per-topic basis.
  
  # The number of messages to accept before forcing a flush of data to disk
  #log.flush.interval.messages=10000
  
  # The maximum amount of time a message can sit in a log before we force a flush
  #log.flush.interval.ms=1000
  
  ############################# Log Retention Policy #############################
  
  # The following configurations control the disposal of log segments. The policy can
  # be set to delete segments after a period of time, or after a given size has accumulated.
  # A segment will be deleted whenever *either* of these criteria are met. Deletion always happens
  # from the end of the log.
  
  # The minimum age of a log file to be eligible for deletion
  log.retention.hours=168
  
  # A size-based retention policy for logs. Segments are pruned from the log as long as the remaining
  # segments don't drop below log.retention.bytes.
  #log.retention.bytes=1073741824
  
  # The maximum size of a log segment file. When this size is reached a new log segment will be created.
  log.segment.bytes=1073741824
  
  # The interval at which log segments are checked to see if they can be deleted according 
  # to the retention policies
  log.retention.check.interval.ms=300000
  
  # By default the log cleaner is disabled and the log retention policy will default to just delete segments after their retention expires.
  # If log.cleaner.enable=true is set the cleaner will be enabled and individual logs can then be marked for log compaction.
  log.cleaner.enable=false
  
  ############################# Zookeeper #############################
  
  # Zookeeper connection string (see zookeeper docs for details).
  # This is a comma separated host:port pairs, each corresponding to a zk
  # server. e.g. "127.0.0.1:3000,127.0.0.1:3001,127.0.0.1:3002".
  # You can also append an optional chroot string to the urls to specify the
  # root directory for all kafka znodes.
  zookeeper.connect=localhost:2181
  
  # Timeout in ms for connecting to zookeeper
  zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms=2000

  <p>And my /etc/hosts file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#
  # hosts         This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
  #               mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem.  It is mostly
  #               used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
  #               On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
  #               "named" name server.
  # Syntax:
