Neha Narkhede updated KAFKA-1911:
---------------------------------
Labels: newbie++ (was: )
> Log deletion on stopping replicas should be async
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-1911
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1911
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: log, replication
> Reporter: Joel Koshy
> Assignee: Jay Kreps
> Labels: newbie++
> Fix For: 0.8.3
>
>
> If a StopReplicaRequest sets delete=true then we do a file.delete on the file
> message sets. I was under the impression that this is fast but it does not
> seem to be the case.
> On a partition reassignment in our cluster the local time for stop replica
> took nearly 30 seconds.
> {noformat}
> Completed request:Name: StopReplicaRequest; Version: 0; CorrelationId: 467;
> ClientId: ; DeletePartitions: true; ControllerId: 1212; ControllerEpoch:
> 53 from
> client/...:45964;totalTime:29191,requestQueueTime:1,localTime:29190,remoteTime:0,responseQueueTime:0,sendTime:0
> {noformat}
> This ties up one API thread for the duration of the request.
> Specifically in our case, the queue times for other requests also went up and
> producers to the partition that was just deleted on the old leader took a
> while to refresh their metadata (see KAFKA-1303) and eventually ran out of
> retries on some messages leading to data loss.
> I think the log deletion in this case should be fully asynchronous although
> we need to handle the case when a broker may respond immediately to the
> stop-replica-request but then go down after deleting only some of the log
> segments.
