Peter Sinoros-Szabo commented on KAFKA-12431: --------------------------------------------- We did further research and found that those Fetch Request and Responses occasionally contain the topic/partition/offset data. # It seems that the client sends out a Fetch Request that contains the proper partition/offset data # but in response it gets a response that doesn't contain any topic/partition/offset information. # Then the client starts to send those messages that I described above, so there's not topic/partition/offset mentioned. # This continues for awhile, both requests and responses are without the topic/partition/offset data. # A lot more messages later there is a Fetch Response that does contain the requested topic/partition/offset/message-payload data. # And than the whole thing start from the beginning again. > Fetch Request/Response without Topic information > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-12431 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12431 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.6.1 > Reporter: Peter Sinoros-Szabo > Priority: Major > Attachments: fetch-on-2.4.1.png, fetch-on-2.6.1.png > > > I was running a 6 node Kafka 2.4.1 cluster with protocol and message format > version set to 2.4. I wanted to upgrade the cluster to 2.6.1 and after I > upgraded the 1st broker to 2.6.1 without any configuration change, I noticed > much higher CPU usage on that broker (instead of 25% CPU usage it was ~350%) > and about 3-4x higher network traffic. So I dumped the traffic between the > Kafka client and broker and compared it with the traffic of the same broker > downgraded to 2.4.1. > It seems to me that after I upgraded to 2.6.1, the Fetch requests and > responses are not complete, it is missing the topics part of the Fetch > Request, I don't know for what reason. I guess there should be always a > topics part. > I'll attache a screenshot from these messages. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
