Hi, we are using kafka 0.7.2 We start 2 brokers, and running for a while. After that, we shut 1 broker down, remove its data directory, and restart it. But the broker won't receive any logs. We checked the zookeeper, finding that old topic contain only 1 broker id. After that, we manually make some directories with names of old topics under the data directory. We restart the broker this time, and find it's ok to receive logs of those topics.
Could it possibly be a bug or does it have to behave like this for some reason we don't know? THANKS -- *Best Regards * *Xiang Helin *
