-------------------------------------
Hi [~wushujames] can you provide a more precise sequence of steps for setting
up the cluster than what you've provided in your [earlier comment|
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1120?focusedCommentId=15884085&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15884085]?
Ideally I would just exactly copy/paste the commands you executed in command
line along with the exact configs you used, and even more preferably, using the
{{--replica-assignment}} variant of kafka-topics.sh topic creation.

> When the controller is in the middle of processing a task (e.g., preferred
> leader election, broker change), it holds a controller lock. During this
> time, a broker could have de-registered and re-registered itself in ZK. After
> the controller finishes processing the current task, it will start processing
> the logic in the broker change listener. However, it will see no broker
> change and therefore won't do anything to the restarted broker. This broker
> will be in a weird state since the controller doesn't inform it to become the
> leader of any partition. Yet, the cached metadata in other brokers could
> still list that broker as the leader for some partitions. Client requests
> routed to that broker will then get a TopicOrPartitionNotExistException. This
> broker will continue to be in this bad state until it's restarted again.
