Labels: newbie++ (was: )
> Log cleaner thread should not exit on errors
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-1755
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1755
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Joel Koshy
> Labels: newbie++
> Fix For: 0.8.3
>
>
> The log cleaner is a critical process when using compacted topics.
> However, if there is any error in any topic (notably if a key is missing)
> then the cleaner exits and all other compacted topics will also be adversely
> affected - i.e., compaction stops across the board.
> This can be improved by just aborting compaction for a topic on any error and
> keep the thread from exiting.
> Another improvement would be to reject messages without keys that are sent to
> compacted topics although this is not enough by itself.
