Kafka throws java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException
<p>When i try to consume messages from the kafka server which is hosted in ec2 with kafka console tool (V 0.9.0.1 , i think this uses old consumer APIs)
I get following exception.
How can i overcome this?</p>

<p><strong>#./kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper zookeeper1.xx.com:2181 --topic MY_TOPIC --from-beginning</strong></p>
