The ‘zkzookeeper.connect’ string identifies where to find once instance of Zookeeper in your cluster. Kafka uses ZooKeeper to store offsets of messages consumed for a specific topic and partition by this Consumer Group

The ‘group.id’ string defines the Consumer Group this process is consuming on behalf of. Remember, you can only use a single process per Consumer Group.

The ‘zkzookeeper.session.timeout.ms’ is how many milliseconds Kafka will wait for ZooKeeper to respond to a request (read or write) before giving up and continuing to consume messages.

The ‘zkzookeeper.sync.time.ms’ is the number of milliseconds a ZooKeeper ‘follower’ can be behind the master before an error occurs.
