Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-1665:
--------------------------------
The reassign partition process only completes after the new replicas are fully
caught up and the old replicas are deleted. So, if the old replica is down, the
process can never complete, which is what you observed. In your case, if you
just want to replace a broker host with a new one, instead of using the
reassign partition tool, simply start a new broker with the same broker id as
the old one, the new broker will replicate all the data automatically.

> Key: KAFKA-1665
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1665
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Joe Stein
> Fix For: 0.8.3
>
>
> I had a 0.8.1.1 Kafka Broker go down, and I was trying to use the reassign
> partition script to move topics off that broker. When I describe the topics,
> I see the following:
> Topic: mini__022____active_120__33__mini Partition: 0 Leader: 2131118
> Replicas: 2131118,2166601,2163421 Isr: 2131118,2166601
> This shows that the broker “2163421” is down. So I create the following file
> /tmp/move_topic.json:
> {
> "version": 1,
> "partitions": [
> {
> "topic": "mini__022____active_120__33__mini",
> "partition": 0,
> "replicas": [
> 2131118, 2166601, 2156998
> ]
> }
> ]
> }
> And then do this:
> ./kafka-reassign-partitions.sh --execute --reassignment-json-file
> /tmp/move_topic.json
> Successfully started reassignment of partitions
> {"version":1,"partitions":[{"topic":"mini__022____active_120__33__mini","partition":0,"replicas":[2131118,2166601,2156998]}]}
> However, when I try to verify this, I get the following error:
> ./kafka-reassign-partitions.sh --verify --reassignment-json-file
> /tmp/move_topic.json
> Status of partition reassignment:
> ERROR: Assigned replicas (2131118,2166601,2156998,2163421) don't match the
> list of replicas for reassignment (2131118,2166601,2156998) for partition
> [mini__022____active_120__33__mini,0]
> Reassignment of partition [mini__022____active_120__33__mini,0] failed
> If I describe the topics, I now see there are 4 replicas. This has been like
> this for many hours now, so it seems to have permanently moved to 4 replicas
> for some reason.
> Topic:mini__022____active_120__33__mini PartitionCount:1 ReplicationFactor:4
> Configs:
> Topic: mini__022____active_120__33__mini Partition: 0 Leader: 2131118
> Replicas: 2131118,2166601,2156998,2163421 Isr: 2131118,2166601
> If I re-execute and re-verify, I get the same error. So it seems to be wedged.
