Geoffrey Anderson commented on KAFKA-1918:
------------------------------------------

Just making sure you're aware of work we're doing at Confluent on system tests. 
I'll be posting a KIP for this soon, but here's some info:

The original plan is sketched here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/System+Test+Improvements

This is the core library/test framework (WIP) which aids in writing and running 
the tests
https://github.com/confluentinc/ducktape/

This has system tests we've written to date for the Confluent Platform
https://github.com/confluentinc/muckrake

> {quote}
> Once the Zookeeper quorum is down, brokers could result in a bad state and 
> could not normally serve client requests, etc. Although when Zookeeper quorum 
> recovers, the Kafka brokers should be able to resume to normal state 
> automatically, _there are still a few +corner cases+ the they cannot and a 
> hard kill-and-recovery is required to bring it back to normal_. Hence it is 
> recommended to closely monitor your zookeeper cluster and provision it so 
> that it is performant.

> As ZK quorum failures are inevitable (due to rolling upgrades of ZK, leader 
> hardware failure, etc), it would be great to identify the corner cases (if 
> they still exist) and fix them if necessary.
