Jiangjie Qin created KAFKA-2557: ----------------------------------- Summary: Separate RebalanceNeededException from IllegalGenerationIdException Key: KAFKA-2557 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2557 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: clients, consumer Reporter: Jiangjie Qin Assignee: Onur Karaman
The IllegalGenerationIdException is a bit confusing today. When a consumer receives an IllegalGenerationIdException from hearbeat response, it should still use that generation id to commit offset. i.e. the generation ID was not really illegal. The current code was written earlier when we still bump up the generation ID when the coordinator enters PrepareRebalance state. Since now the generation ID is bumped up after PreareRebalance state ends, we should not overload IllegalGenerationIdException to notify a rebalance but create a new error code such as RebalanceNeededException. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
