Unable to start kafka with zookeeper (kafka.common.InconsistentClusterIdException)

I managed to Solve this issue with the following steps :

1. Just Delete all the log/Data file created (or generated) into zookeeper and kafka.
2. Run Zookeper
3. Run Kafka

[Since this post is open again I post my answer there so you got all on the same post]

Reason is Kafka saved failed cluster ID in meta.properties.

Try to delete kafka-logs/meta.properties from your tmp folder, which is located in C:/tmp folder by default on windows, and /tmp/kafka-logs on Linux

How to find Kafka log path:

Open server server.properties file which is located in your kafka folder kafka_2.11-2.4.0\config\server.properties (considering your version of kafka, folder name could be kafka_<kafka_version>):

Then search for entry log.dirs to check where logs locate log.dirs=/tmp/kafka-logs

For mac, the following steps are needed.

• Stop kafka service: brew services stop kafka
• open kafka server.properties file: vim /usr/local/etc/kafka/server.properties
• find value of log.dirs in this file. For me, it is /usr/local/var/lib/kafka-logs
• delete path-to-log.dirs/meta.properties file
• start kafka service brew services start kafka
