----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Kafka consumer should cache leader offset ranges
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-16248
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-16248
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: clients
> Reporter: Lucas Brutschy
> Assignee: Alieh Saeedi
> Priority: Critical
>
> We noticed a streams application received an OFFSET_OUT_OF_RANGE error
> following a network partition and streams task rebalance and subsequently
> reset its offsets to the beginning.
> Inspecting the logs, we saw multiple consumer log messages like:
> {code:java}
> Setting offset for partition tp to the committed offset
> FetchPosition{offset=1234, offsetEpoch=Optional.empty...)
> {code}
> Inspecting the streams code, it looks like kafka streams calls `commitSync`
> passing through an explicit OffsetAndMetadata object but does not populate
> the offset leader epoch.
> The offset leader epoch is required in the offset commit to ensure that all
> consumers in the consumer group have coherent metadata before fetching.
> Otherwise after a consumer group rebalance, a consumer may fetch with a stale
> leader epoch with respect to the committed offset and get an offset out of
> range error from a zombie partition leader.
> An example of where this can cause issues:
> 1. We have a consumer group with consumer 1 and consumer 2. Partition P is
> assigned to consumer 1 which has up-to-date metadata for P. Consumer 2 has
> stale metadata for P.
> 2. Consumer 1 fetches partition P with offset 50, epoch 8. commits the offset
> 50 without an epoch.
> 3. The consumer group rebalances and P is now assigned to consumer 2.
> Consumer 2 has a stale leader epoch for P (let's say leader epoch 7).
> Consumer 2 will now try to fetch with leader epoch 7, offset 50. If we have a
> zombie leader due to a network partition, the zombie leader may accept
> consumer 2's fetch leader epoch and return an OFFSET_OUT_OF_RANGE to consumer
> 2.
> If in step 1, consumer 1 committed the leader epoch for the message, then
> when consumer 2 receives assignment P it would force a metadata refresh to
> discover a sufficiently new leader epoch for the committed offset.
> Kafka Streams cannot fully determine the leader epoch of the offsets it wants
> to commit - in EOS mode, streams commits the offset after the last control
> records (to avoid always having a lag of >0), but the leader epoch of the
> control record is not known to streams (since only non-control records are
> returned from Consumer.poll).
> A fix discussed with [~hachikuji] is to have the consumer cache leader epoch
> ranges, similar to how the broker maintains a leader epoch cache.
> This ticket was split from the original ticket
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15344 which was described as a
> streams fix, but the problem cannot be fully fixed in streams.
