Re: kafka consumer thread crashes and doesn't consume any events without service restart
Pushkar, You are not wrong. Indeed whatever deserialization errors that happens during the poll() method will cause your code to be interrupted without much information about which offset failed. A workaround would be trying to parse the message contained in the exception SerializationException and try to recover. But this is too pushy. Taking a more closer look in the stack trace that you shared, it seems that the real problem might be connectivity with Schema Registry. Hence why the last mile of your exception says that there is a 'Connection Refused' in place. ``` Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (Connection refused) at java.base/java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.base/java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.doConnect(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.net.Socket.connect(Unknown Source) at java.base/sun.net.NetworkClient.doConnect(Unknown Source) at java.base/sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.openServer(Unknown Source) at java.base/sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.openServer(Unknown Source) at java.base/sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.(Unknown Source) at java.base/sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.New(Unknown Source) at java.base/sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.New(Unknown Source) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getNewHttpClient(Unknown Source) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.plainConnect0(Unknown Source) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.plainConnect(Unknown Source) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.connect(Unknown Source) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream0(Unknown Source) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.net.HttpURLConnection.getResponseCode(Unknown Source) at io.confluent.kafka.schemaregistry.client.rest.RestService.sendHttpRequest(RestService.java:208) *<- [5] Here, way after everything it tries to connect to the service but fails.* at io.confluent.kafka.schemaregistry.client.rest.RestService.httpRequest(RestService.java:252) at io.confluent.kafka.schemaregistry.client.rest.RestService.getId(RestService.java:482) at io.confluent.kafka.schemaregistry.client.rest.RestService.getId(RestService.java:475) at io.confluent.kafka.schemaregistry.client.CachedSchemaRegistryClient.getSchemaByIdFromRegistry(CachedSchemaRegistryClient.java:153) at io.confluent.kafka.schemaregistry.client.CachedSchemaRegistryClient.getBySubjectAndId(CachedSchemaRegistryClient.java:232) at io.confluent.kafka.schemaregistry.client.CachedSchemaRegistryClient.getById(CachedSchemaRegistryClient.java:211) *<- [4] This is the part where the AvroDeserializer tries to contact Schema Registry to fetch the Schema* at io.confluent.kafka.serializers.AbstractKafkaAvroDeserializer.deserialize(AbstractKafkaAvroDeserializer.java:116) at io.confluent.kafka.serializers.AbstractKafkaAvroDeserializer.deserialize(AbstractKafkaAvroDeserializer.java:88) *<- [3] So far so good.

Re: kafka consumer thread crashes and doesn't consume any events without service restart
Pushkar, Kafka uses the concept of offsets to identify the order of each record within the log. But this concept is more powerful than it looks like. Committed offsets are also used to keep track of which records has been successfully read and which ones are not. When you commit a offset in the consumer; a message is sent to Kafka that in turn register this commit into a internal topic called `__committed_offsets`. Point being: you can elegantly solve this problem by handling properly the exception in your code but only committing the offset if the record was deemed fully read -- which means being able to deserialize the record with no exceptions thrown. In order to do this, you will need to disable auto commit and manually commit the offsets either in a per-batch basis or in a per-record basis. Non-committed offsets will be picked up by the same or another thread from the consumer group. This is the part where *Gerbrand's* suggestion might take place. You might want to have another stream processor specifically handling those outliers and sending them out to a DLQ topic for manual reprocessing purposes.

Re: kafka consumer thread crashes and doesn't consume any events without service restart
Hello Pushkar, I'd split records/events in categories based on the error: - Events that can be parsed or otherwise handled correctly, e.g. good events - Fatal error, like parsing error, empty or incorrect values, etc., e.g. bad events - Non-fatal, like database-connection failure, io-failure, out of memory, and others that could be retried Best to avoid doing something blocking while handling the error, so create a separate stream for each. That way 'good' events don't have to wait for the handling of 'bad' events. Any fatal can events you could store in a separate topic, or send to some monitoring/logging system. As a simple start you could sent the erroneous events to a separate topic named something like 'errorevents'. Any non-fatal errors could be retried. Last time I used Akka for that (https://doc.akka.io/docs/alpakka-kafka/current/errorhandling.html) but afaik KStreams has mechanism for that as well. You could also store records that you want to retry into a separate topic 'retry'. Do not store records that that you want to retry back into the original topic! If you do that you're have a great risk that overload you're whole kafka-cluster.
