Jay Kreps created KAFKA-1919: -------------------------------- Summary: Metadata request issued with no backoff in new producer if there are no topics Key: KAFKA-1919 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1919 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Jay Kreps
Original report: We have observed high cpu and high network traffic problem when 1) cluster (0.8.1.1) has no topic 2) KafkaProducer (0.8.2-beta) object is created without sending any traffic We have observed such problem twice. In both cases, problem went away immediately after one/any topic is created. Is this a known issue? Just want to check with the community first before I spend much time to reproduce it. I couldn't reproduce the issue with similar setup with unit test code in IDE. start two brokers with no topic locally on my laptop. create a KafkaProducer object without sending any msgs. but I only tested with 0.8.2-beta for both broker and producer. Issue exists in 0.8.2 as well: I have re-run my unit test with 0.8.2.0. same tight-loop problem happened after a few mins. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
