Vincent Rischmann commented on KAFKA-3894:
------------------------------------------
I had the exact same bug, didn't realize it at first. What I did was simply
deleting all 000000... files manually with the broker stopped, and restarting
the broker.
I was betting that it would be fine because it's the cosumer offsets topic, and
chances are the data in that file is useless anyway since my consumers commit
constantly, and only fetch offsets while starting up essentially. It's a little
risky, but worked. (and at that time the patch wasn't available)
Still have no idea what generated those files though.

> Key: KAFKA-3894
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3894
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 0.8.2.2, 0.9.0.1, 0.10.0.0
> Environment: Oracle JDK 8
> Ubuntu Precise
> Reporter: Tim Carey-Smith
> Assignee: Tom Crayford
> Labels: compaction
> Fix For: 0.10.1.0

>
> The log-cleaner thread can crash if the number of keys in a topic grows to be
> too large to fit into the dedupe buffer.
> The result of this is a log line:
> {quote}
> broker=0 pri=ERROR t=kafka-log-cleaner-thread-0 at=LogCleaner
> \[kafka-log-cleaner-thread-0\], Error due to
> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: requirement failed: 9750860 messages in
> segment MY_FAVORITE_TOPIC-2/00000000000047580165.log but offset map can fit
> only 5033164. You can increase log.cleaner.dedupe.buffer.size or decrease
> log.cleaner.threads
> {quote}
> As a result, the broker is left in a potentially dangerous situation where
> cleaning of compacted topics is not running.
> It is unclear if the broader strategy for the {{LogCleaner}} is the reason
> for this upper bound, or if this is a value which must be tuned for each
> specific use-case.
> Of more immediate concern is the fact that the thread crash is not visible
> via JMX or exposed as some form of service degradation.
> Some short-term remediations we have made are:
> * increasing the size of the dedupe buffer
> * monitoring the log-cleaner threads inside the JVM
