Rong Rong commented on FLINK-9630:
----------------------------------

Hi All,

is this connected somehow with FLINK-8497? We are investigating some similar 
issues with the PartitionDiscovery. 
Also I think based on the bug report. This doesn't seem to affect Kafka 0.11 
and up, yes ?

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Connectors / Kafka
>    Affects Versions: 1.4.2, 1.5.0
>         Environment: Linux 2.6, java 8, Kafka broker 0.10.x

> when the Kafka topic got deleted, during task starting process, 
> Kafka09PartitionDiscoverer will get a *TopicAuthorizationException* in 
> getAllPartitionsForTopics(), and it get no chance to close the  
> kafkaConsumer, hence resulting TCP connection leak (to Kafka broker).
>  
> *this issue can bring down the whole Flink cluster*, because, in a default 
> setup (fixedDelay with INT.MAX restart attempt), job manager will randomly 
> schedule the job to any TaskManager that has free slot, and each attemp will 
> cause the TaskManager to leak a TCP connection, eventually almost every 
> TaskManager will run out of file handle, hence no taskmanger could make 
> snapshot, or accept new job. Effectly stops the whole cluster.
>  
> The leak happens when StreamTask.invoke() calls openAllOperators(), then 
> FlinkKafkaConsumerBase.open() calls partitionDiscoverer.discoverPartitions(), 
> when kafkaConsumer.partitionsFor(topic) in 
> KafkaPartitionDiscoverer.getAllPartitionsForTopics() hit a 
> *TopicAuthorizationException,* no one catches this.
> Though StreamTask.open catches Exception and invoks the dispose() method of 
> each operator, which eventaully invoke FlinkKakfaConsumerBase.cancel(), 
> however it does not close the kakfaConsumer in partitionDiscoverer, not even 
> invoke the partitionDiscoverer.wakeup(), because the discoveryLoopThread was 
> null.
>  
> below is the code of FlinkKakfaConsumerBase.cancel() for your convenience
> public void cancel() {
>      // set ourselves as not running;
>      // this would let the main discovery loop escape as soon as possible
>      running = false;
>     if (discoveryLoopThread != null) {
>         if (partitionDiscoverer != null)
> {             // we cannot close the discoverer here, as it is error-prone to 
> concurrent access;             // only wakeup the discoverer, the discovery 
> loop will clean itself up after it escapes             
> partitionDiscoverer.wakeup();         }
>     // the discovery loop may currently be sleeping in-between
>      // consecutive discoveries; interrupt to shutdown faster
>      discoveryLoopThread.interrupt();
>      }
>     // abort the fetcher, if there is one
>      if (kafkaFetcher != null)
> {          kafkaFetcher.cancel();     }
