> Stale message should not prevent controller from rebalancing resource
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HELIX-682
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HELIX-682
> Project: Apache Helix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Hao Zhang
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently during MessageGenerationPhase, we skip re-balancing when there is
> pending message. Though we assume that participant will delete messages when
> they finish the task, there will be cases that when ZK is not stable and
> participant fail to do so, which will leave message un-deleted and thus block
> rebalance.
> Ideally on controller side, we should try to delete message as well: if
> partition's current state is same as message's toState, or there is totally
> invalid message remaining, controller should try to delete message to unblock
> rebalancing
