             Summary: Improving performance of the function 
ControllerChannelManager.addUpdateMetadataRequestForBrokers
                 Key: KAFKA-6481
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6481
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Lucas Wang


The function ControllerChannelManager.addUpdateMetadataRequestForBrokers should 
only process the partitions specified in the partitions parameter, i.e. the 2nd 
parameter, and avoid iterating through the set of partitions in 
TopicDeletionManager.partitionsToBeDeleted.

 

Here is why the current code can be a problem:

The number of partitions-to-be-deleted stored in the field 
TopicDeletionManager.partitionsToBeDeleted can become quite large under certain 
scenarios. For instance, if a topic a0 has dead replicas, the topic a0 would be 
marked as ineligible for deletion, and its partitions will be retained in the 
field TopicDeletionManager.partitionsToBeDeleted for future retries.
With a large set of partitions in TopicDeletionManager.partitionsToBeDeleted, 
if some replicas in another topic a1 needs to be transitioned to OfflineReplica 
state, possibly because of a broker going offline, a call stack listed as 
following will happen on the controller, causing a iteration of the whole 
partitions-to-be-deleted set for every single affected partition.

    controller.topicDeletionManager.partitionsToBeDeleted.foreach(partition => 
updateMetadataRequestPartitionInfo(partition, beingDeleted = true))
    ControllerBrokerRequestBatch.addUpdateMetadataRequestForBrokers
    ControllerBrokerRequestBatch.addLeaderAndIsrRequestForBrokers
    inside a for-loop for each partition 
ReplicaStateMachine.doHandleStateChanges
ReplicaStateMachine.handleStateChanges
KafkaController.onReplicasBecomeOffline
KafkaController.onBrokerFailure


How to reproduce the problem:
1. Cretae a cluster with 2 brokers having id 1 and 2
2. Create a topic having 10 partitions and deliberately assign the replicas to 
non-existing brokers, i.e. 
 ./bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --create --topic a0 
--replica-assignment `echo -n 3:4; for i in \`seq 9\`; do echo -n ,3:4; done`

3. Delete the topic and cause all of its partitions to be retained in the field 
TopicDeletionManager.partitionsToBeDeleted, since the topic has dead replicas, 
and is ineligible for deletion.
4. Create another topic a1 also having 10 partitions, i.e.
 ./bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --create --topic a1 
--replica-assignment `echo -n 1:2; for i in \`seq 9\`; do echo -n ,1:2; done`
5. Kill the broker 2 and cause the replicas on broker 2 to be transitioned to 
OfflineReplica state on the controller.
6. Verify that the following log message appear over 200 times in the 
controller.log file, one for each iteration of the a0 partitions
 "Leader not yet assigned for partition [a0,..]. Skip sending 
UpdateMetadataRequest."
 
 What happened was 
 1. During controlled shutdown, the function 
KafkaController.doControlledShutdown calls 
replicaStateMachine.handleStateChanges to transition all the replicas on broker 
2 to OfflineState. That in turn generates 100 (10 x 10) entries of the logs 
above.
 2. When the broker zNode is gone in ZK, the function 
KafkaController.onBrokerFailure calls KafkaController.onReplicasBecomeOffline 
to transition all the replicas on broker 2 to OfflineState. And this again 
generates 100 (10 x 10) entries of the logs above.

After applying the patch in this RB, I've verified that by going through the 
steps above, broker 2 going offline NO LONGER generates log entries for the a0 
partitions.
Also I've verified that topic deletion for topic a1 still works fine.
