> We've noticed that reassigning a topic's partitions seems to adversely impact 
> other topics. Specifically, followers for other topics fall out of the ISR.
> While I'm not 100% sure about why this happens, the scenario seems to be as 
> follows:
> 1. Reassignment is manually triggered on topic-partition X-Y, and broker A 
> (which used to be a follower for X-Y) is no longer a follower.
> 2. Broker A makes `FetchRequest` including topic-partition X-Y to broker B, 
> just after the reassignment.
> 3. Broker B can fulfill the `FetchRequest`, but while trying to do so it 
> tries to record the position of "follower" A. This fails, because broker A is 
> no longer a follower for X-Y (see exception below).
> 4. The entire `FetchRequest` request fails, and broker A's other followed 
> topics start falling behind.
> 5. Depending on the length of the reassignment, this sequence repeats.
> In step 3, we see exceptions like:
> {noformat}
> Error when handling request Name: FetchRequest; Version: 3; CorrelationId: 
> 46781859; ClientId: ReplicaFetcherThread-0-1001; ReplicaId: 1006; MaxWait: 
> 500 ms; MinBytes: 1 bytes; MaxBytes:10485760 bytes; RequestInfo: 
> <LOTS OF PARTITIONS>
> kafka.common.NotAssignedReplicaException: Leader 1001 failed to record 
> follower 1006's position -1 since the replica is not recognized to be one of 
> the assigned replicas 1001,1004,1005 for partition [topic_being_reassigned,5].

> Does my assessment make sense? If so, this behaviour seems problematic. A few 
> changes that might improve matters (assuming I'm on the right track):
> 1. `FetchRequest` should be able to return partial results
> 2. The broker fulfilling the `FetchRequest` could ignore the 
> `NotAssignedReplicaException`, and return results without recording the 
> not-any-longer-follower position.
> This behaviour was experienced with 0.10.1.1, although looking at the 
> changelogs and the code in question, I don't see any reason why it would have 
> changed in later versions.
> Am very interested to have some discussion on this. Thanks!
