Edoardo Comar commented on KAFKA-3727:
--------------------------------------
The consumer remains stuck in a loop because
{quote}
Fetcher<K,V>.listOffset(TopicPartition, long) line: 320
Fetcher<K,V>.resetOffset(TopicPartition) line: 294
Fetcher<K,V>.updateFetchPositions(Set<TopicPartition>) line: 170
KafkaConsumer<K,V>.updateFetchPositions(Set<TopicPartition>) line: 1408
KafkaConsumer<K,V>.pollOnce(long) line: 982
KafkaConsumer<K,V>.poll(long) line: 937
{quote}
that is, the consumer is stuck in awaitMetadataUpdate in Fetcher.java
{code}
private long listOffset(TopicPartition partition, long timestamp) {
while (true) {
RequestFuture<Long> future = sendListOffsetRequest(partition,
timestamp);
client.poll(future);
if (future.succeeded())
return future.value();
if (!future.isRetriable())
throw future.exception();
if (future.exception() instanceof InvalidMetadataException)
client.awaitMetadataUpdate();
else
time.sleep(retryBackoffMs);
}
}
{code}
Don't you think that the consumer should give up with an exception ?

> Key: KAFKA-3727
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3727
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: clients
> Reporter: Edoardo Comar
>
> The behavior of a consumer on poll() for a non-existing topic is surprisingly
> different/inconsistent
> between a consumer that subscribed to the topic and one that had the
> topic-partition manually assigned.
> The "subscribed" consumer will return an empty collection
> The "assigned" consumer will *loop forever* - this feels a bug to me.
> sample snippet to reproduce:
> {quote}
> KafkaConsumer<String, String> assignKc = new KafkaConsumer<>(props1);
> KafkaConsumer<String, String> subsKc = new KafkaConsumer<>(props2);
> List<TopicPartition> tps = new ArrayList<>();
> tps.add(new TopicPartition("topic-not-exists", 0));
> assignKc.assign(tps);
> subsKc.subscribe(Arrays.asList("topic-not-exists"));
> System.out.println("********* subscribe k consumer ");
> ConsumerRecords<String, String> crs2 = subsKc.poll(1000L);
> print("subscribeKc", crs2); // returns empty
> System.out.println("********* assign k consumer ");
> ConsumerRecords<String, String> crs1 = assignKc.poll(1000L);
> // will loop forever !
> print("assignKc", crs1);
> {quote}
> the logs for the "assigned" consumer show:
