So looks like there is a jespen post coming on kafka 0.8 replication, based on this thats circulating on twitter. https://www.refheap.com/17932/raw
Understanding that kafka isnt designed particularly to be partition tolerant, the result is not completely surprising. But my question is, is there something that can be done about the lost messages? >From my understanding when broker n1 comes back on line, currently what will happen is that the messages that were only on n1 will be truncated/tossed while n1 is coming back to ISR. Please correct me if this is not accurate. Would it instead be possible to do something else with them, like sending them to an internal lost messages topic, or log file where some manual intervenion could be done on them, or a configuration property like replay.truncated.messages=true could be set where the broker would send the lost messages back onto the topic after ISR?
