Library with name 'KafkaLib' does not exist

Strange that KafkaLib installs automatically as you installed Vertica 7.2 update, at least in my case. Anyway you can try to install Kafka UDx manually by running this commaind on each node (under dbadmin):

/opt/vertica/bin/vsql -a -f /opt/vertica/packages/kafka/ddl/install.sql

Before doing this check that you really do not have Kafka already installed:

select * from USER_LIBRARIES

When installed you will see something like this:

public      | KafkaLib       | 45035997964086902 | HP Vertica | 45035996273704962 | KafkaLib_026497d68bc91ce792925b04e775630c00a0000064c12e76.so       | 070548f9e55b09248454dabe6a4d0597 | 7.2.0       | 174832   | 174832        | 7.2.0       | 7.2.0           | http://www.vertica.com/ | Kafka streaming load and export

Thank you! That's solved. What kafka version you use? I have 0.8.2.

I'll try to config and post you update.

Althought error has gone I can't see any rows in 

USER_LIBRARIES

One more interesting thing is that vertica works for a while (about 30min) to consume messages but after that I can't login in via vsql

vsql --username dbadmin

vsql: could not connect to server: Connection refused

Is the server running on host "???" and accepting

TCP/IP connections on port 5433?

netstat -apn | grep 5433

(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info

will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
