huxi commented on KAFKA-4675: ----------------------------- Seems deleting '/brokers/topics/<topic>' comes fourth from the bottom during the topic deletion while creating it comes top front in createTopic logic, did you encounter the TopicExistsException that failed the creation? > Subsequent CreateTopic command could be lost after a DeleteTopic command > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-4675 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4675 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Guozhang Wang > Labels: admin > > This is discovered while investigating KAFKA-3896: If an admin client sends a > delete topic command and a create topic command consecutively, even if it > wait for the response of the previous command before issuing the second, > there is still a race condition that the create topic command could be "lost". > This is because currently these commands are all asynchronous as defined in > KIP-4, and controller will return the response once it has written the > corresponding data to ZK path, which can be handled by different listener > threads at different paces, and if the thread handling create is faster than > the other, the executions could be effectively re-ordered. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
