Vahid Hashemian updated KAFKA-3854: ----------------------------------- Description: There are a couple of issues with regex subscription in the new consumer: h6. Subsequent Subscriptions Fail When consecutive calls are made to new consumer's [regex subscription|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/KafkaConsumer.java#L850], like below: {code} consumer.subscribe(Pattern.compile("..."), listener); consumer.poll(0); consumer.subscribe(Pattern.compile("f.."), listener); consumer.poll(0); {code} the second call fails with the following error: {code} Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Subscription to topics, partitions and pattern are mutually exclusive at org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.internals.SubscriptionState.subscribe(SubscriptionState.java:175) at org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.KafkaConsumer.subscribe(KafkaConsumer.java:854) ... {code} h6. Subsequent Subscriptions Fail to Trigger a Subscription Change and Rebalance Even after the code is tweaked to get around the above issue, only the first call to regex subscription triggers an actual subscription and the subscription's rebalance listener. The reason is the regex {{subscription}} / {{poll}} does not directly call {{changeSubscription(...)}} in which {{needsPartitionAssignment}} is set and causes a rebalance. This method is called only during the first regex {{subscription}} / {{poll}} when coordinator is unknown and [a {{client.poll}} call|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/internals/AbstractCoordinator.java#L179] is made which eventually leads to [a {{changeSubscription}} call|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/internals/ConsumerCoordinator.java#L161]. The subsequent call does not reach this point because the coordinator is already known. It seems due to the same reason, if a consumer is subscribed to a pattern, and later on a new topic is created that matches that pattern, the consumer does not become subscribed it. was: There are a couple of issues with regex subscription in the new consumer: h6.
