Alban Hurtaud created KAFKA-3959: ------------------------------------ Summary: __consumer_offsets wrong number of replicas at startup Key: KAFKA-3959 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3959 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: consumer, offset manager, replication Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0, 0.9.0.1 Environment: Brokers of 3 kafka nodes running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo) Reporter: Alban Hurtaud
When creating a stack of 3 kafka brokers, the consumer is starting faster than kafka nodes and when trying to read a topic, only one kafka node is available. So the __consumer_offsets is created with a replication factor set to 1 (instead of configured 3) : offsets.topic.replication.factor=3 default.replication.factor=3 min.insync.replicas=2 Then, other kafka nodes go up and we have exceptions because the replicas # for __consumer_offsets is 1 and min insync is 2. So exceptions are thrown. What I missed is : Why the __consumer_offsets is topic is created with replication to 1 (when 1 broker is running) whereas in server.properties it is set to 3 ? To reproduce : - Prepare 3 kafka nodes with the 3 lines above added to servers.properties. - Run one kafka, - Run one consumer (the __consumer_offsets is created with replicas =1) - Run 2 more kafka nodes -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
