Florian Witteler created KAFKA-4238: ---------------------------------------
Summary: consumer-subscription not working, when accessing a newly created topic immediately after its creation with the AdminUtils Key: KAFKA-4238 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4238 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.10.0.1, 0.10.0.0 Reporter: Florian Witteler I created a test-project to reproduce the bug. https://github.com/FloWi/kafka-topic-creation-bug We use a docker container that creates a fresh topic before a testsuite gets executed (see {{trait FreshKafkaTopics}}). That trait uses the AdminUtils to create the topic. If we access the newly created topic directly after its creation, the subscriber is broken. It sometimes works though (<5%), so it seems to be a race-condition. If I put a {{Thread.sleep(1000)}} after the topic-creation, everything's fine though. So, the problem is twofold: - {{AdminUtils.createTopic}} should block until the topic-creation is completed - {{new KafkaConsumer[String, String](props).subscribe(util.Arrays.asList(topic))}} should throw an exception, when the topic is "not ready" -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
