ASF GitHub Bot commented on KAFKA-4002: --------------------------------------- Github user asfgit closed the pull request at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/1686 > task.open() should be invoked in case that 0 partitions is assigned to task. > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-4002 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4002 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: KafkaConnect > Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0 > Reporter: Liquan Pei > Assignee: Liquan Pei > Fix For: 0.10.1.0 > > Original Estimate: 4h > Remaining Estimate: 4h > > In case that 0 partitions is assigned to a task, the open() call in task was > not invoked, but then put() was called later. The put() call with empty data > is to hand control to the task so that it can continue working on the > buffered data. > If task.open() is not invoked in case of 0 partitions are assigned, connector > developers needs to do some special handling in this case, i.e. do not call > any method in writer to avoid null pointer exceptions. To make the connector > developers' life easy, it probably better to change the behavior so the call > is made even 0 partitions are assigned . -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
