Sophie Blee-Goldman updated KAFKA-4600:
---------------------------------------
Issue Type: Sub-task (was: Bug)
Parent: KAFKA-8179
> Consumer proceeds on when ConsumerRebalanceListener fails
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-4600
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4600
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: consumer
> Affects Versions: 0.10.1.1
> Reporter: Braedon Vickers
> Priority: Major
>
> One of the use cases for a ConsumerRebalanceListener is to load state
> necessary for processing a partition when it is assigned. However, when
> ConsumerRebalanceListener.onPartitionsAssigned() fails for some reason (i.e.
> the state isn't loaded), the error is logged and the consumer proceeds on as
> if nothing happened, happily consuming messages from the new partition. When
> the state is relied upon for correct processing, this can be very bad, e.g.
> data loss can occur.
> It would be better if the error was propagated up so it could be dealt with
> normally. At the very least the assignment should fail so the consumer
> doesn't see any messages from the new partitions, and the rebalance can be
> reattempted.
