mumrah opened a new pull request, #15648: URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/15648
This patch changes the behavior of the migrating ZK broker to always delete the local metadata log during startup. This deletion is done immediately before creating the RaftManager which will re-create the log directory and let the broker re-replicate the log from the active controller. The rationale for this change is to make it easier for operators to re-attempt a ZK to KRaft migration after having reverted back to ZK mode. If an operator has reverted back to ZK mode, there will be an invalid metadata log on the disk of each broker. In order to re-attempt the migration in the future, this log needs to be deleted. This can be pretty burdensome to the operator for large clusters, especially since the log deletion must be done while the broker is offline. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
