I'm starting to work with ubuntu and Apache kafka and have the following problem when I run bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties&
:~/Documentos/kafka-0.8.2.1-src$ Error: no se ha encontrado o cargado la clase principal org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerMain
kafka:kafka-0.8.2.1 ubuntu:16.0
The problem is with your Kafka download. You have downloaded kafka-0.8.2.1-src source package which just contains Kafka source code and external(like zookeeper) classes declarations and doesn't come with external classes bundled with it.
The solution is you need to download binary package which looks like kafka_2.10-0.8.2.1.tgz and this contains all classes bundled within it.
Note: In case if you want to use source package then you have to compile it on your system before installation.
