Cotizo sima commented on KAFKA-1817: ------------------------------------ I can reproduce the same error. Code: {code} private static void tryCreateTopic(String zkConnString, String topicName) { final ZkClient zookeeper = new ZkClient(zkConnString); final int NR_PARTITIONS = 1; final int REPLICATION_FACTOR = 1; if (! AdminUtils.topicExists(zookeeper, topicName)) { LOG.warn(String.format("Topic %s not found, creating...", topicName)); AdminUtils.createTopic(zookeeper, topicName, NR_PARTITIONS, REPLICATION_FACTOR, new Properties()); } else { LOG.info(String.format("Topic %s found!", topicName)); } zookeeper.close(); } {code} Maven/gradle dependency: org.apache.kafka:kafka_2.10:0.8.2.1 > AdminUtils.createTopic vs kafka-topics.sh --create with partitions > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-1817 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1817 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Sub-task > Affects Versions: 0.8.2.0 > Environment: debian linux current version up to date > Reporter: Jason Kania > Fix For: 0.8.3 > > > When topics are created using AdminUtils.createTopic in code, no partitions > folder is created The zookeeper shell shows this. > ls /brokers/topics/foshizzle > [] > However, when kafka-topics.sh --create is run, the partitions folder is > created: > ls /brokers/topics/foshizzle > [partitions] > The unfortunately useless error message "KeeperErrorCode = NoNode for > /brokers/topics/periodicReading/partitions" makes it unclear what to do. When > the topics are listed via kafka-topics.sh, they appear to have been created > fine. It would be good if the exception was wrapped by Kafka to suggested > looking in the zookeeper shell so a person didn't have to dig around to > understand what the meaning of this path is... -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
