Guozhang Wang commented on KAFKA-1112: -------------------------------------- Did some research on network about "fsync", and it seems fsync can be reliable even with disk's block-write behavior since it is sequential, which means even file system crashed during fsync we will not expect random behavior. > 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-v2.patch, > KAFKA-1112-v3.patch, KAFKA-1112.out > > > When I kill kafka with -9, broker cannot start itself because of corrupted > index logs. I think kafka should try to delete/rebuild indexes itself without > manual intervention. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
