Jonah Hooper created KAFKA-18442: ------------------------------------ Summary: Downgrades to 3.3.2 will fail from versions 3.6.0 and above Key: KAFKA-18442 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-18442 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Jonah Hooper
Downgrading from 3.6.x and above to 3.3.x will fail with the following error: {code:java} kafka.common.InconsistentBrokerMetadataException: BrokerMetadata is not consistent across log.dirs. This could happen if multiple brokers shared a log directory (log.dirs) or partial data was manually copied from another broker. Found:- /mnt/kafka/kafka-metadata-logs -> {node.id=1, directory.id=ItAoMTrsidYVfoRnX3gsAA, version=1, cluster.id=I2eXt9rvSnyhct8BYmW6-w}- /mnt/kafka/kafka-data-logs-2 -> {node.id=1, directory.id=MiQDnIX6WuYL0NdMaLOsRQ, version=1, cluster.id=I2eXt9rvSnyhct8BYmW6-w}- /mnt/kafka/kafka-data-logs-1 -> {node.id=1, directory.id=F1m5lsdOIsGtTpTYT0Ao9g, version=1, cluster.id=I2eXt9rvSnyhct8BYmW6-w} at kafka.server.BrokerMetadataCheckpoint$.getBrokerMetadataAndOfflineDirs(BrokerMetadataCheckpoint.scala:194) at kafka.server.KafkaRaftServer$.initializeLogDirs(KafkaRaftServer.scala:184) at kafka.server.KafkaRaftServer.<init>(KafkaRaftServer.scala:61) at kafka.Kafka$.buildServer(Kafka.scala:79) at kafka.Kafka$.main(Kafka.scala:87) at kafka.Kafka.main(Kafka.scala){code} This is only broken in 3.3.2 version of Kafka [BrokerMetatadataCheckpoint.scala|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/c9c03dd7ef9ff4edf2596e905cabececc72a9e9d/core/src/main/scala/kafka/server/BrokerMetadataCheckpoint.scala#L186]. In 3.3.2 kafka loads information about metadata directories via {{metadata.properties}} files and expects that the properties are duplicated for all log directories. We crash with a fatal error if they are non-duplicate which at that time would mean that another instance of kafka was using the same log directories. In [#14291|https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/14291] we dropped the requirement that the {{metadata.properties}} files is duplicate in each directory since they will now contain a non-unique {{directory.id}} field for each dir. This has no effect on versions of kafka running {{kraft}} mode, >= 3.4.x (they care only about uniqueness of node.id and cluster.id) but does affect 3.3.2 and lower (than [#9967|[https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/9967])] since it expects every {{metadata.properties}} file to be the same. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
