------------------------------------
Summary: Mirror maker loses messages of a new topic
Key: KAFKA-1006
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1006
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.8
Reporter: Swapnil Ghike
Mirror maker currently uses auto.offset.reset = largest on the consumer side by
default. If a new topic is created, consumer's topic watcher is fired. The
consumer will first finish partition reassignment as part of rebalance and then
start consuming from the tail of each partition. Until the partition
reassignment is over, the server may have appended new messages to the new
topic, mirror maker won't consume these messages. Thus, multiple batches of
messages may be lost when a topic is newly created.
The fix is to start consuming from the earliest offset for newly created topics.
