Haruki Okada created KAFKA-19334: ------------------------------------ Summary: MetadataShell bypasses file lock unexpectedly due to lock file deletion Key: KAFKA-19334 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-19334 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 4.0.0 Reporter: Haruki Okada Assignee: Haruki Okada
MetadataShell acquires log dir lock to prevent unexpected results by concurrent reads/writes fixed by [https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/14899]. This lock works as expected when we execute MetadataShell against running log for the first time: {code:java} % ./bin/kafka-metadata-shell.sh --snapshot data/bootstrap.checkpoint Unexpected error: Unable to lock /path/to/data. Please ensure that no broker or controller process is using this directory before proceeding.{code} However, if we execute MetadataShell with same command again with controller still running, it succeeds unexpectedly. {code:java} % ./bin/kafka-metadata-shell.sh --snapshot data/bootstrap.checkpoint Loading... Starting... [ Kafka Metadata Shell ] >> {code} And I found that .lock file vanishes after MetadataShell exit. This is because MetadataShell calls FileLock#destroy when it fails acquiring lock, which deletes the lock file.
