Aleksandar Stojadinovic created KAFKA-3334: ----------------------------------------------
Summary: First message on new topic not actually being sent, no exception thrown Key: KAFKA-3334 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3334 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0 Environment: Linux, Java Reporter: Aleksandar Stojadinovic Although I've seen this issue pop around the internet in a few forms, I'm not sure it is yet properly fixed. When publishing to a new topic, with auto create-enabled, the java client (0.9.0) shows this WARN message in the log, and the message is not sent obviously: org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient - Error while fetching metadata with correlation id 0 : {file.topic=LEADER_NOT_AVAILABLE} In the meantime I see in the console the message that a log for partition is created. The next messages are patched through normally, but the first one is never sent. No exception is ever thrown, either by calling get on the future, or with the async usage, like everything is perfect. I notice when I leave my application blocked on the get call, in the debugger, then the message may be processed, but with significant delay. This is consistent with another issue I found for the python client. Also, if I call partitionsFor previously, the topic is created and the message is sent. But it seems silly to call it every time, just to mitigate this issue. {code} Future<RecordMetadata> recordMetadataFuture = producer.send(new ProducerRecord<>(topic, key, file)); RecordMetadata recordMetadata = recordMetadataFuture.get(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS); {code} I hope I'm clear enough.
