             Summary: Regression resetting offsets in consumer when fetching 
from old broker
                 Key: KAFKA-10123
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10123
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jason Gustafson
            Assignee: David Arthur
             Fix For: 2.6.0


We saw this error in system tests:
{code}
java.lang.NullPointerException

{code}

The logs should that the consumer was in the middle of an offset reset when 
this happened. We changed the logic in KAFKA-9724 to include the following 
check:
{code}
            NodeApiVersions nodeApiVersions = 
apiVersions.get(leaderAndEpoch.leader.get().idString());
            if (nodeApiVersions == null || 
hasUsableOffsetForLeaderEpochVersion(nodeApiVersions)) {
                return assignedState(tp).maybeValidatePosition(leaderAndEpoch);
            } else {
                // If the broker does not support a newer version of 
OffsetsForLeaderEpoch, we skip validation
                completeValidation(tp);
                return false;
            }
{code}

The problem seems to be the shortcut call to `completeValidation`, which 
executes the following logic:
{code}
            if (hasPosition()) {
                transitionState(FetchStates.FETCHING, () -> 
this.nextRetryTimeMs = null);
            }
{code}

We should be protected by the call to `hasPosition` here, but in the case of 
the `AWAIT_RESET` state, we are incorrectly returning true. This causes us to 
enter the `FETCHING` state without a position, which ultimately leads to the 
NPE.
