rhauch opened a new pull request #11946: URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/11946
The `retryEndOffsets(…)` method in `TopicAdmin` recently added (KAFKA-12879, #11797) to allow the `KafkaBasedLog.start()` method to retry any failures reading the last offsets for a topic. However, this introduce a regression when talking to older brokers (0.10.x or earlier). The `KafkaBasedLog` already had logic that expected an `UnsupportedVersionException` thrown by the admin client when a Kafka API is not available on an older broker, but the new retry logic in `TopicAdmin` did not account for this and wrapped the exception, thereby breaking the `KafkaBasedLog` logic and preventing startup. The fix is to propagate this `UnsupportedVersionException` from the `TopicAdmin.retryEndOffsets(…)` method. Added a new unit test that first replicated the problem before the fix, and verified the fix corrects the problem. ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [ ] Verify design and implementation - [ ] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
