Chris Egerton updated KAFKA-10218: ---------------------------------- Description: If the {{DistributedHerder}} encounters issues reading to the end of the config topic, it [takes note of this fact|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/7db52a46b00eed652e791dd4eae809d590626a1f/connect/runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/runtime/distributed/DistributedHerder.java#L1109] by setting a field {{canReadConfigs}} to {{false}} and then acts accordingly at the [start of its tick loop|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/7db52a46b00eed652e791dd4eae809d590626a1f/connect/runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/runtime/distributed/DistributedHerder.java#L319] by trying again to read to the end of the config topic. However, if a subsequent attempt to read to the end of the config topic succeeds, the {{canReadConfigs}} field is never set back to {{true}} again, so no matter what, the herder will always attempt to read to the end of the config topic at the beginning of each tick.

This goes back beyond 1.0.0. I've added a handful of versions to {{Affects Version/s}}, if anyone wants to add more feel free.) > DistributedHerder's canReadConfigs field is never reset to true > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-10218 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10218 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: KafkaConnect > Reporter: Chris Egerton > Assignee: Chris Egerton > Priority: Major > > If the {{DistributedHerder}} encounters issues reading to the end of the > config topic, it [takes note of this > fact|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/7db52a46b00eed652e791dd4eae809d590626a1f/connect/runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/runtime/distributed/DistributedHerder.java#L1109] > by setting a field {{canReadConfigs}} to {{false}} and then acts accordingly > at the [start of its tick > loop|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/7db52a46b00eed652e791dd4eae809d590626a1f/connect/runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/runtime/distributed/DistributedHerder.java#L319] > by trying again to read to the end of the config topic.
