            Reporter: Jason Rosenberg


Hi,

We recently had a kafka node go down suddenly. When it came back up, it 
apparently had a corrupt recovery file, and refused to startup:

And the app is under a monitor (so it was repeatedly restarting and failing 
with this error for several minutes before we got to it)…

We moved the ‘recovery-point-offset-checkpoint’ file out of the way, and it 
then restarted cleanly (but of course re-synced all it’s data from replicas, so 
we had no data loss).

Anyway, I’m wondering if that’s the expected behavior? Or should it not declare 
it corrupt and then proceed automatically to an unclean restart?

Should this NumberFormatException be handled a bit more gracefully?

We saved the corrupt file if it’s worth inspecting (although I doubt it will be 
useful!)….

The corrupt files appeared to be all zeroes.
