Edoardo Comar commented on KAFKA-5200:
--------------------------------------
[~huxi_2b] if we could restart the broker that's down there would be no actual
problem to be solved.
I'd like to find a way - tooling option is ok - to allow the deletion to
progress. And handle the eventual restart of the missing broker.
> Deleting topic when one broker is down will prevent topic to be re-creatable

> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Reporter: Edoardo Comar
>
> In a cluster with 5 broker, replication factor=3, min in sync=2,
> one broker went down
> A user's app remained of course unaware of that and deleted a topic that
> (unknowingly) had a replica on the dead broker.
> The topic went in 'pending delete' mode
> The user then tried to recreate the topic - which failed, so his app was left
> stuck - no working topic and no ability to create one.
> The reassignment tool fails to move the replica out of the dead broker -
> specifically because the broker with the partition replica to move is dead :-)
> Incidentally the confluent-rebalancer docs say
> http://docs.confluent.io/current/kafka/post-deployment.html#scaling-the-cluster
> > Supports moving partitions away from dead brokers
> It'd be nice to similarly improve the opensource reassignment tool
