Rajini Sivaram created KAFKA-3217: ------------------------------------- Summary: Unit tests which dont close producers auto-create topics in Kafka brokers of other tests when port is reused Key: KAFKA-3217 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3217 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: unit tests Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0 Reporter: Rajini Sivaram Assignee: Rajini Sivaram
Consumer tests occasionally fail the exception: {quote} kafka.common.TopicExistsException: Topic "topic" already exists. at kafka.admin.AdminUtils$.createOrUpdateTopicPartitionAssignmentPathInZK(AdminUtils.scala:261) at kafka.admin.AdminUtils$.createTopic(AdminUtils.scala:245) at kafka.utils.TestUtils$.createTopic(TestUtils.scala:237) at kafka.api.BaseConsumerTest.setUp(BaseConsumerTest.scala:65) {quote} Recreated this failure with some additional logging and it turns out that the failure is because a few tests which create a topic named "topic" close their Kafka server, but not the producer. When the ephemeral port used by the closed Kafka server gets reused in another Kafka server in a subsequent test, the producer retries of the previous test cause "topic" to be recreated using auto-create in the new Kafka server of the subsequent test. This results in an error in the consumer tests occasionally when the topic is auto-created before the test attempts to create it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
