viktorsomogyi opened a new pull request #9152: URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/9152
A broker throws IllegalStateException if the broker epoch in the LeaderAndIsr/UpdateMetadataRequest/StopReplicaRequest is larger than its current broker epoch. However, there is no guarantee that the broker would receive the latest broker epoch before the controller: when the broker registers with ZK, there are few more instructions to process before this broker "knows" about its epoch, while the controller may already get notified and send UPDATE_METADATA request (as an example) with the new epoch. This will result in clients getting stale metadata from this broker. With this PR, a broker accepts LeaderAndIsr/UpdateMetadataRequest/StopReplicaRequest if the broker epoch is newer than the current epoch.
