--------------------------------------------------------------
We need to think about how we surface failures. Right now there's no metric for
failed loading of transaction coordinator partitions, unlike the group
coordinator. A new metric would require a KIP.

> Key: KAFKA-21402
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-21402
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0
> Reporter: Sean Quah
> Priority: Major
>
> If \{{TransactionStateManager.loadTransactionMetadata}} throws while reading
> a \{{__transaction_state}} partition, it logs the error and returns the
> partially built map:
> {code:scala}
> } catch {
> case t: Throwable => error(s"Error loading transactions from
> transaction log $topicPartition", t)
> }
> }
> loadedTransactions
> {code}
> {\{loadTransactionsForTxnTopicPartition}} then installs the partial map as
> the coordinator's cache and completes the load. For any transactional ID with
> records past the failure point, the in-memory cache holds an older state than
> the log does. Any transition the coordinator makes from that stale state is
> appended to the log and supersedes the correct, newer records. The stale
> state is then persisted, and it survives coordinator failover and reloads.
> Observed case (TV2):
> # Loading failed part-way with \{{OutOfMemoryError}}. The partial map held a
> transactional ID as \{{ONGOING}} at epoch 22969, a transaction that had
> completed hours earlier.
> # The coordinator timed it out and wrote \{{PREPARE_ABORT}} at epoch 22970.
> # The data partition had already seen the producer at epoch 24018, so it
> rejected the marker with \{{InvalidProducerEpochException}}.
> # \{{PREPARE_ABORT}} is now the latest record for the ID, so every later
> coordinator hits the same failure. The transaction is stuck in
> \{{PrepareAbort}}, and \{{InitProducerId}} returns
> \{{CONCURRENT_TRANSACTIONS}} indefinitely.
> Relates to KAFKA-21349.
