Ramnatthan Alagappan commented on KAFKA-1120:
---------------------------------------------
I ran into this issue and have a reproducible setup irrespective of the number
of partitions or nodes. [~onurkaraman]'s analysis in comment @
[#comment-16113645] is correct. The root cause is that the shutdown broker
restarts and registers with ZK in a short interval of time. During this time,
ZK delivers a callback for deletion of the broker. Before ZKClient can
reestablish the callback (by issuing a stat call), the broker registers with
ZK. By the time ZKClient gets the /brokers/ids node from ZK, the shutdown
broker also appears in /brokers/ids. With this, the shutdown broker appears
both in curBrokerIds and liveOrShuttingDownBrokerIds, causing newBrokerIds to
be empty, which causes this problem.

>
> 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.
