 Fix Leader election Problems
 [Note] this method may work every time
 [Note] this was initially caused by deleting the kafka hosts and reprovisioning
 delete the topic using zkCli.sh
 rmr /brokers/topics/test2
 sudo service kafka restart (on all the broker hosts using rundeck)
 change to a different topic in your producer 
 you might see the number of LeaderNotAvailableException go down, maybe its doing some kind of replication here
 at this point the consumer should be able to get messages and if u produce more, it should have fewer exceptions or 0
