----------------------------
Hi Jay,
I just stumbled upon this issue, since I am on Windows. I just checked out the
trunk since I had this problem with the current beta due to this issue. But I
still face the same issue:
[2013-10-25 12:43:43,422] FATAL [Replica Manager on Broker 0]: Error writing to
highwatermark file: (kafka.server.ReplicaManager)
java.io.IOException: File rename from D:\Databases\Kafka\kafka-logs\replication-
offset-checkpoint.tmp to
D:\Databases\Kafka\kafka-logs\replication-offset-checkpoint failed.
I also tried to use nio move functionality to see if that solved the problem,
but fails for the same reason
Thanks a lot and regards
Jan
> Unable to rename replication offset checkpoint in windows

> Key: KAFKA-1036
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1036
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1
> Environment: windows
> Reporter: Timothy Chen
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: windows
> Fix For: 0.8.1
>
>
> Although there was a fix for checkpoint file renaming in windows that tries
> to delete the existing checkpoint file if renamed failed, I'm still seeing
> renaming errors on windows even though the destination file doesn't exist.
> A bit investigation shows that it wasn't able to rename the file since the
> kafka jvm still holds a fie lock on the tmp file and wasn't able to rename
> it.
> Attaching a patch that calls a explict writer.close so it can release the
> lock and can able to rename it.
