If you are using kafka_2.x.x-0.8.2.0 or later, you also need to add the kafka-clients-0.8.x.x.jar file to the <EI_HOME>/lib directory.
If you are using a newer version of ZooKeeper, follow the steps below:wow
Create a directory named conf inside the <EI_HOME>/repository directory.
Create a directory named identity inside the <EI_HOME>/repository/conf directory.
Add the jaas.conf file to the <EI_HOME>/repository/conf/identity directory. This is required because Kerberos authentication is enforced on newer versions of ZooKeeper.
