Todd Palino commented on KAFKA-3959:
------------------------------------
If that's the case, then the default should be set to 1. As least having that
as the default, and returning an error if the RF cannot be satisfied, is a
reasonable and expected outcome. But having it set up to not enforce the
configured RF leads to unintended behavior, even if it's documented here.
> __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: 0.9.0.1, 0.10.0.0
> 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 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
