Getting Bootstrap broker ip:9092 disconnected error from kafka spout

Question

Versions:

"org.apache.storm" % "storm-kafka-client" % "1.2.1"
"org.apache.storm" % "storm-core" % "1.2.1" % "compile"
Kafka: 0.10.1.0 

I am getting following error/warnings, running in localCluster, from my kafka spout:

2018-06-28 00:00:34,930 AppInfoParser [INFO] Kafka version : 0.10.1.0

2018-06-28 00:00:35,927 WARN NetworkClient [Thread-40-KafkaSpout-executor[12 12]] Bootstrap broker ip7:9092 disconnected

Here is the code of Kafka Spout:

  private def getKafkaSpoutConfig(source: TopologyConfig) = {
    System.clearProperty("java.security.auth.login.config")  //tried this after getting error, no impact
    KafkaSpoutConfig.builder("ip1:9092,ip2:9092,ip3:9092,.....,ip10:9092", "topicName")
    .setProp(ConsumerConfig.GROUP_ID_CONFIG, "myConsumerGroup")
    .setProp(ConsumerConfig.VALUE_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.ByteArrayDeserializer")
    .setOffsetCommitPeriodMs(100)        
    .setFirstPollOffsetStrategy(KafkaSpoutConfig.FirstPollOffsetStrategy.UNCOMMITTED_LATEST)
    .setMaxUncommittedOffsets(1000000)
    .build()
  }
  def getKafkaSpout(source: TopologyConfig) = new KafkaSpout(getKafkaSpoutConfig(source: TopologyConfig))

On debugging, I see following is the stack trace for this error:

The same code was working for one Kafka setup, but for another setup of kafka of same version it started to give above error.

Edit:

As par comments, I tried to connect to port 9092 of Kafka, Which I was able to do:

➜  git:(myBranch) ✗ telnet ipn 9092
Trying ipn...
Connected to my-kafka-app-396433.
Escape character is '^]'.

This was happening because of some version mismatch of kafka. The installed kafka version was 0.10.0.1 while the code was picking and executing with kafka-clients version: 0.10.1.0 .

It was happening as storm-core has a dependency of kafka-clients version: 0.10.1.0 , which can be overwritten, which I did but somehow it was not excluded properly in sbt. After some permutations it was working and final dependencies were looking like this:

Seq("org.apache.storm" % "storm-core" % "1.2.1" % "compile" excludeAll(
  ExclusionRule(organization = "org.apache.logging.log4j"),
  ExclusionRule(organization = "org.apache.kafka", artifact = "kafka-clients"),
  ExclusionRule(organization = "ring-cors"),
  ExclusionRule(organization = "org.slf4j", artifact = "*"),
  ExclusionRule(organization = "log4j", artifact = "*"),
  ExclusionRule(organization = "javax", artifact = "*"),
  ExclusionRule(organization = "javax.servlet", artifact="*")
)),
"org.apache.kafka" % "kafka-clients" % "0.10.0.1" excludeAll(
  ExclusionRule(organization = "org.slf4j", name = "slf4j-log4j12"),
  ExclusionRule(organization = "log4j"),
  ExclusionRule(organization = "javax.servlet", artifact="*")
),
"org.apache.storm" % "storm-kafka-client" % "1.2.1" excludeAll(
  ExclusionRule(organization = "org.apache.kafka", artifact = "*"),
  ExclusionRule(organization = "org.apache.logging.log4j"),
  ExclusionRule(organization = "ring-cors"),
  ExclusionRule(organization = "org.apache.logging.log4j", artifact = "*"),
  ExclusionRule(organization = "org.slf4j", artifact = "*"),
  ExclusionRule(organization = "log4j", artifact = "*")
),
