Sriharsha Chintalapani commented on KAFKA-1558: ----------------------------------------------- [~nehanarkhede] I was trying to test if the controller is recovering from a soft failure successfully and above described behavior is outcome of issuing a delete topic command not necessarily anything to do with controller's ability to come out of soft failure. Hence I removed the producers/consumers and didn't do delete topic command even than the old controller didn't shutdown properly and I believe this is what causing the delete topic to fail. Since the old controller didn't shutdown topic partition goes to offline which is causing new controller's TopicDeletionManager go into a loop where one of the topic partition replica's are offline and keep retrying to delete it. > AdminUtils.deleteTopic does not work > ------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-1558 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1558 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1 > Reporter: Henning Schmiedehausen > Assignee: Sriharsha Chintalapani > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.8.2 > > Attachments: kafka-thread-dump.log > > > the AdminUtils:.deleteTopic method is implemented as > {code} > def deleteTopic(zkClient: ZkClient, topic: String) { > ZkUtils.createPersistentPath(zkClient, > ZkUtils.getDeleteTopicPath(topic)) > } > {code} > but the DeleteTopicCommand actually does > {code} > zkClient = new ZkClient(zkConnect, 30000, 30000, ZKStringSerializer) > zkClient.deleteRecursive(ZkUtils.getTopicPath(topic)) > {code} > so I guess, that the 'createPersistentPath' above should actually be > {code} > def deleteTopic(zkClient: ZkClient, topic: String) { > ZkUtils.deletePathRecursive(zkClient, ZkUtils.getTopicPath(topic)) > } > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
