Description

I have started my own zookeeper setup and now i am trying to start Kafka brokers using python script and i am observing that its not connecting to zookeeper and all operations are failing.

 

// code placeholder

 def start(self):
        cmd_split = shlex.split(self.cmd)
        self.process = subprocess.Popen(cmd_split, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
        print("Running :", self.cmd)
        print("Started broker %d on PID : %d" % (self.broker_id, self.process.pid))

Running : /u/donthu/subs_logs/kafka_2.12-2.4.1/bin/kafka-server-start.sh /u/donthu/subs_logs/kafka_2.12-2.4.1/config/server.properties  --override broker.id=0 --override listeners=PLAINTEXT://:9080 --override log.dirs=/tmp/kafka0-logs

 

When i run the same command on console , its working fine.I think the problem lies in using subprocess module properly. Any body know what may be the issue for not connecting ?

Thanks in advance.
