             Summary: Race condition on consumer updating positions and 
unsubscribe when using committed offsets with topic ID
                 Key: KAFKA-20040
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20040
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Lianet Magrans
            Assignee: Lianet Magrans


When using topic IDs for fetching committed offsets (as of 4.2), there could be 
a race where a consumer requests offsets to update positions, but unsubscribes 
from it before receiving a response. In that case, the response to the 
OffsetFetch will contain a topic ID that the consumer cannot resolve from 
metadata. Currently the OffsetFetch response handling fails with:

 
{code:java}
Error fetching committed offsets to update positions 
(org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.internals.OffsetsRequestManager:424)
org.apache.kafka.common.KafkaException: Topic does not exist
{code}
 

We should consider ignoring the topic that the consumer no longer needs
 * it does exist on the broker
 * the consumer no longer needs offsets to update positions (it unsubscribed 
from the topic) 
 * note that this would never be the case of manual calls to fetch offsets 
(consumer.committed). That API directly adds the topics to metadata as 
transient topics, and keeps them until a response is received.
