Attila Sasvari commented on KAFKA-6332: --------------------------------------- [~ijuma] I'd like to work on this task, can you please assign it to me? In {{kafka.py}}, we could add something similar to the [listening() function in zookeeper.py|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/ee352be9c88663b95b1096b7a294e61857857380/tests/kafkatest/services/zookeeper.py#L87] : {code} def listening(self, node, port): try: cmd = "nc -z %s %s" % (node.account.hostname, port) node.account.ssh_output(cmd, allow_fail=False) self.logger.debug("Kafka server started accepting connections at: '%s:%s')", node.account.hostname, port) return True except (RemoteCommandError, ValueError) as e: return False {code} and call it in {{start_node}} {code} def start_node(self, node): ... self.logger.debug("Attempting to start KafkaService on %s with command: %s" % (str(node.account), cmd)) node.account.ssh(cmd) wait_until(lambda: self.listening(node, self.jmx_port), timeout_sec=30, backoff_sec=.25, err_msg="Kafka server didn't finish startup") {code} I have a [work in progress|https://github.com/asasvari/kafka/commit/916ab0b8291c7db2d16d84fc847630972628e345], executed a few tests ({{./tests/kafkatest/tests/core/consumer_group_command_test.py}}, {{./tests/kafkatest/tests/core/simple_consumer_shell_test.py}}) and they passed. However, {{listening()}} could be more general; so it might go into the {{utils}} module. I see there are references to {{monitor.wait_until}} grepping for messages in server logs at other places (like {{minikdc.py}}, {{connect.py}}, {{torgdor.py}}, {{streams.py}} - we need to know the exact ports). > Kafka system tests should use nc instead of log grep to detect start-up > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-6332 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6332 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Ismael Juma > Priority: Major > Labels: newbie > > [~ewencp] suggested using nc -z test instead of grepping the logs for a more > reliable test.
