Prashanth Menon commented on KAFKA-513:
---------------------------------------
Hi all,
Wow, a lot has changed in the few weeks I wasn't concentrating on Kafka. I
think I've managed to grok most of the modifications, so what I'd like to do
for this ticket is:
1. Add the logging capability to PartitionStateMachine and KafkaApis.
2. Add utility (in contrib?) to "merge" multiple such log files from multiple
brokers to form a coherent timeline. This relies on the timestamp being in the
log file and broker's clocks being in-sync. The format of the lines in the log
file need to be in some predictable and parse-able format to make things easier
too.

> Once KAFKA-499 is checked in, every controller to broker communication can be
> modelled as a state change for one or more partitions. Every state change
> request will carry the controller epoch. If there is a problem with the state
> of some partitions, it will be good to have a tool that can create a timeline
> of requested and completed state changes. This will require each broker to
> output a state change log that has entries like
> [2012-09-10 10:06:17,280] broker 1 received request LeaderAndIsr() for
> partition [foo, 0] from controller 2, epoch 1
> [2012-09-10 10:06:17,350] broker 1 completed request LeaderAndIsr() for
> partition [foo, 0] from controller 2, epoch 1
> On controller, this will look like -
> [2012-09-10 10:06:17,198] controller 2, epoch 1, initiated state change
> request LeaderAndIsr() for partition [foo, 0]
> We need a tool that can collect the state change log from all brokers and
> create a per-partition timeline of state changes -
> [foo, 0]
> [2012-09-10 10:06:17,198] controller 2, epoch 1 initiated state change
> request LeaderAndIsr()
> [2012-09-10 10:06:17,280] broker 1 received request LeaderAndIsr() from
> controller 2, epoch 1
> [2012-09-10 10:06:17,350] broker 1 completed request LeaderAndIsr() from
> controller 2, epoch 1
> This JIRA involves adding the state change log to each broker and adding the
> tool to create the timeline
