Summary: Apache Kafka failover is not working Key: KAFKA-4061 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4061 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0 Environment: Linux Reporter: Sebastian Bruckner We have a 3 node cluster (kafka1 to kafka3) on 0.10.0.0 When I shut down the node kafka1 i can see in the debug logs of my consumers the following: {code} Sending coordinator request for group f49dc74f-3ccb-4fef-bafc-a7547fe26bc8 to broker kafka3:9092 (id: 3 rack: null) Received group coordinator response ClientResponse(receivedTimeMs=1471511333843, disconnected=false, request=ClientRequest(expectResponse=true, callback=org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.internals.ConsumerNetworkClient$RequestFutureCompletionHandler@3892b449, request=RequestSend(header={api_key=10,api_version=0,correlation_id=118,client_id=f49dc74f-3ccb-4fef-bafc-a7547fe26bc8}, body={group_id=f49dc74f-3ccb-4fef-bafc-a7547fe26bc8}), createdTimeMs=1471511333794, sendTimeMs=1471511333794), responseBody={error_code=0,coordinator={node_id=1,host=kafka1,port=9092}}) {code} So the problem is that kafka3 answers with an response telling the consumer that the coordinator is kafka1 (which is shut down). This then happens over and over again. When i restart the consumer i can see the following: {code} Updated cluster metadata version 1 to Cluster(nodes = [kafka2:9092 (id: -2 rack: null), kafka1:9092 (id: -1 rack: null), kafka3:9092 (id: -3 rack: null)], partitions = []) ... responseBody={error_code=15,coordinator={node_id=-1,host=,port=-1}}) {code} The difference is now that it answers with error code 15 (GROUP_COORDINATOR_NOT_AVAILABLE). Somehow kafka doesn't elect a new group coordinator. In a local setup with 2 brokers and 1 zookeper it works fine.. Can you help me debugging this? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
