Use Zookeeper to discover brokers?

[freenerd]

Other Kafka client libraries do only need Zookeeper node locations to start their clients. I believe that they discover the Kafka broker locations from Zookeeper then. Poseidon on the other hand needs both, Kafka Broker and Zookeeper locations to start the client.

I was wondering what the reasoning here was? Is this by design or something that just is not implement yet?

@tiagodeoliveira @freenerd don't count on that. Poseidon is no longer actively maintained. You can extract this logic from here: https://github.com/karafka/karafka/blob/master/lib/karafka/connection/broker_manager.rb
