> Add progress metric for log loading during Kafka broker startup
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-18570
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-18570
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0
> Reporter: Mehari Beyene
> Assignee: Mehari Beyene
> Priority: Major
>
> When a Kafka broker process starts up, it goes through the process of
> restoring the state of the broker based on the segment files stored on the
> disk and other auxiliary checkpoint files used to store the broker's state.
> In a clean shutdown scenario, Kafka undergoes a clean shutdown, meaning all
> states are persisted on the local disk, and the process of restoring the
> broker's state is relatively quick (estimated under 10 minutes for a
> partition count of 4000).
> However, if the broker experiences an unclean shutdown, the log loading
> process will also involve recovering the broker state by replaying messages
> and trying to reconstruct the last known safe state of the broker. This
> recovery process can take a very long time. Anecdotal data shows we have seen
> processes that took more than two hours.
> Log recovery is triggered as part of log loading, during this recovery
> process, there is no metric that indicates the progress, leaving both Kafka
> cluster administrators and customers blind to the state of the recovery. Not
> having any metric that operators can use to estimate the ETA is difficult for
> planning and managing expectations.
> The exit criteria for this issue is to add a metric that would show the
> progress of log loading when a broker starts up.
