Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-1120:
--------------------------------
[~wushujames], just increasing controlled.shutdown.retry.backoff.ms may not
help. You really don't want the ControlledShutdown request to timeout. For
that, you need to increase controller.socket.timeout.ms. The controller reports
the latency for the ControlledShutdownRequest. So, from that metric, you can
figure out how much to increase.

> 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.
