Jun Rao updated KAFKA-4546: --------------------------- Affects Version/s: 0.10.1.0 This is affecting all versions of Kafka. Not sure what's the best way to address this though. If anyone has an idea, please chime in. > a consumer could miss tombstone when leader changes during the reads > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-4546 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4546 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.8.2.1, 0.10.1.0 > Reporter: Jun Rao > > Currently, in a compacted topic, we delay the removal of a tombstone by > delete.retention.ms to avoid the case that a consumer reads a non-tombstone > before the tombstone, then tombstone is removed and the consumer misses the > tombstone. > However, tombstones are removed independently in different replicas. Supposed > that a tombstone is already removed in the follower, but not in the leader. A > consumer could read a non-tombstone message on the leader, then the leader > changes, and the consumer will miss the tombstone on the new leader since > it's already deleted. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
