error while starting kafka broker : <p>I was able to successfully set up zookeeper and one kafka broker yesterday. Everything worked as expected. I shut down kafka (ctrl + c) and then zookeeper.</p>

<p>Today I started zookeeper and when I started kafka (<code>bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server0.properties</code>), I get the following error. I tried various remedies suggested (removing completely my kafka installation and doing it again from scratch). Still I get same error.</p>

<pre><code>[2016-09-28 16:15:55,895] FATAL Fatal error during KafkaServerStartable startup. Prepare to shutdown (kafka.server.KafkaServerStartable)
java.lang.RuntimeException: A broker is already registered on the path /brokers/ids/0. This probably indicates that you either have configured a brokerid that is already in use, or else you have shutdown this broker and restarted it faster than the zookeeper timeout so it appears to be re-registering.
