Troubleshooting ideas

This thing seems to be a problem with the JDK version.

The problem is with a JDK minor version. Scala 2.12 requires a newer version of the JDK, then 1.8.0_111

Although the version I have here looks correct, JAVA_HOME is incorrect. No matter which version of the JRE you are running, you need JAVA_HOME to point to the correct JDK version.

Solution

  1. Or update the system default JAVA_HOME value
  2. Or export JAVA_HOME before starting

I used the second method

[root@localhost bin]# export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.382.b05-1.el7_9.x86_64/jre
[root@localhost bin]# ./kafka-server-start.sh ../config/server.properties

problem solved
