Kafka 0.8.1.1 replication issues

Hi Kafka users!

I was just migrating a cluster of 3 brokers from one set of EC2 instances
to another, but ran into replication problems. The method of migration used
is that of stopping one broker and letting a new broker join with the same
broker.id. Replication started, but after ~4 of ~15 GB the process stopped
with the following errors getting logged every ~500ms.

On the new broker (the fetcher):

[2014-11-04 17:02:33,762] ERROR [ReplicaFetcherThread-0-1926078608], Error

On one of the two old nodes (presumably the broker providing the data)

It looks similar to this previous post, but the thread doesn't seem to have
a resolution to the problem.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.kafka.user/1153

There is also this one, but again no resolution.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.kafka.user/3804

Does anyone have any clues as to what might be going on here? And any
suggestions for solutions?

Thanks,
Christofer
