-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Kafka Spout incorrectly computes numCommittedOffsets due 
to voids in the topic (topic compaction)
                 Key: STORM-2639
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2639
             Project: Apache Storm
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: storm-kafka-client
    Affects Versions: 1.x
            Reporter: Prasanna Ranganathan
            Assignee: Vivek Mittal
             Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.1.1, 1.2.0


Kafka maintains the spout progress (offsets for partitions) which can hold a 
value which no longer exists (or offset+1 doesn't exist) in the topic due to 
following reasons
* Topology stopped processing (or died) & topic got compacted 
(cleanup.policy=compact) leaving offset voids in the topic.
* Topology stopped processing (or died) & Topic got cleaned up 
(cleanup.policy=delete) and the offset.

When the topology starts processing again (or restarted), the spout logic 
suggests that the next offset has to be (committedOffset+1) for the spout to 
make progress, which will never be the case as (committedOffset+1) has been 
removed from the topic and will never be acked.

{code:title=OffsetManager.java|borderStyle=solid}
 if (currOffset == nextCommitOffset + 1) {            // found the next offset 
to commit
      found = true;
      nextCommitMsg = currAckedMsg;
      nextCommitOffset = currOffset;
} else if (currOffset > nextCommitOffset + 1) {
      LOG.debug("topic-partition [{}] has non-continuous offset [{}]. It will 
be processed in a subsequent batch.", tp, currOffset);
}
{code}

A smart forwarding mechanism has to be built so as to forward the spout pivot 
to the next logical location, instead of a hardcoded single forward operation.
