Jay Kreps updated KAFKA-1112: ----------------------------- Attachment: KAFKA-1112-v1.patch The way the check was supposed to work was this: if the last offset in the file is the recoveryPoint-1 then skip the recovery (because the whole file is flushed). The way this was implemented was by using the last entry in the index to find the final message. Overall I feel this is a bit of a hack, but we wanted to separate out the "fsync is async" feature from a full incremental recovery implementation that only recovers unflushed data. The immediate problem was that we broke the short circuit by adding code to try to handle a corner case: what if log is truncated after to a flush and hence the end of the log is < recovery point. This was just totally broken and we were short circuiting out of the check in virtually all cases including corrupt index. This issue wasn't caught because there was a bug in the log corruption unit test that gave a false pass on all index corruptions. :-( The fix is the following: 1. Fix the logical bug 2. Add LogSegment.needsRecovery() which is a more paranoid version of what we were doing before that attempts to be safe regardless of any index or log corruption that may have occurred. Having this method here is a little hacky but probably okay until we get a full incremental recovery impl. 3. Fix the unit test that covers this. > broker can not start itself after kafka is killed with -9 > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1112 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1112 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: log > Affects Versions: 0.8, 0.8.1 > Reporter: Kane Kim > Assignee: Jay Kreps > Priority: Critical > Attachments: KAFKA-1112-v1.patch, KAFKA-1112.out > > > When I kill kafka with -9, broker cannot start itself because of corrupted > index logs.
