> Kafka Monitoring is incorrect during rapid topic creation and deletion
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-4441
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4441
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0, 0.10.0.1
> Reporter: Tom Crayford
> Assignee: Edoardo Comar
> Fix For: 0.10.2.0
>
>
> Kafka reports several metrics off the state of partitions:
> UnderReplicatedPartitions
> PreferredReplicaImbalanceCount
> OfflinePartitionsCount
> All of these metrics trigger when rapidly creating and deleting topics in a
> tight loop, although the actual causes of the metrics firing are from topics
> that are undergoing creation/deletion, and the cluster is otherwise stable.
> Looking through the source code, topic deletion goes through an asynchronous
> state machine:
> https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/core/src/main/scala/kafka/controller/TopicDeletionManager.scala#L35.
> However, the metrics do not know about the progress of this state machine:
> https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/core/src/main/scala/kafka/controller/KafkaController.scala#L185
>
> I believe the fix to this is relatively simple - we need to make the metrics
> know that a topic is currently undergoing deletion or creation, and only
> include topics that are "stable"
