Broker A is the controller and is in the middle of processing a broker > change event. As part of this process, let's say it's about to shrink the isr > of a partition. > 2. Then broker A's session expires and broker B takes over as the new > controller. Broker B sends the initial leaderAndIsr request to all brokers. > 3. Broker A continues by shrinking the isr of the partition in ZK and sends > the new leaderAndIsr request to the broker (say C) that leads the partition. > Broker C will reject this leaderAndIsr since the request comes from a > controller with an older epoch. Now we could be in a situation that Broker C > thinks the isr has all replicas, but the isr stored in ZK is different. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
