Apurva Mehta commented on KAFKA-4215: ------------------------------------- Another observation: the consumer only misses messages when unclean leader election is enabled, further bolstering the theory above. > Consumers miss messages during partition reassignment > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-4215 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4215 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Apurva Mehta > Assignee: Apurva Mehta > > In the specific case where the replication-factor of a topic is 1, when > partition reassignment is ongoing, and when a broker is bounced, consumers > reliably lose some messages in the stream. > This can be reproduced in system tests where the following error message sis > observed: > {noformat} > AssertionError: 737 acked message did not make it to the Consumer. They are: > 22530, 45059, 22534, 45063, 22538, 45067, 22542, 45071, 22546, 45075, 22550, > 45079, 22554, 45083, 22558, 45087, 22562, 45091, 22566, 45095, ...plus 717 > more. Total Acked: 51809, Total Consumed: 51073. We validated that the first > 737 of these missing messages correctly made it into Kafka's data files. This > suggests they were lost on their way to the consumer. > {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
