Dhruvil Shah commented on KAFKA-7362: ------------------------------------- [~xiongqiwu] are you planning to work on this JIRA? If not, I could take a stab at fixing it. > enable kafka broker to remove orphan partitions automatically > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-7362 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7362 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: core, log > Reporter: xiongqi wu > Assignee: xiongqi wu > Priority: Major > > When partition reassignment removes topic partitions from a offline broker, > those removed partitions become orphan partitions to the broker. When the > offline broker comes back online, it is not able to clean up both data and > folders that belong to orphan partitions. Log manager will scan all all dirs > during startup, but the time based retention policy on a topic partition will > not be kicked out until the broker is either a follower or a leader of the > partition. In addition, we do not have logic to delete folders that belong > to orphan partition today. > Open this ticket to provide a mechanism (when enabled) to safely remove > orphan partitions automatically. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
