Chia-Ping Tsai resolved KAFKA-20746.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> NPE in MetadataCache#toCluster
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-20746
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20746
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.2.0, 4.3.1
> Reporter: Luke Chen
> Assignee: Kuan Po Tseng
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 4.4.0, 4.2.2, 4.3.2
>
>
> In KAFKA-18225, we fix a bug to allow
> `ClientQuotaCallback#updateClusterMetadata` to be supported in KRaft mode.
> But the cluster object generated in MetadataCache could cause NPE. See
> [https://github.com/strimzi/kafka-quotas-plugin/issues/71] for more info.
>
> I think the root cause is that in toCluster method, we filter out the fenced
> brokers to build brokerToNodes map
> [here|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/4.3.1/metadata/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/metadata/MetadataCache.java#L151-L154].
> But later, we want to get all the replicas info, which include the fenced
> replicas, via the filtered brokerToNodes map. So it causes the NPE. That's my
> assumption because from the original reported bug, we don't have other info.
> But it's a possible way to cause NPE. We should also think if there is other
> possibility to cause NPE here.
