-------------------------------------------
Note: Removed "visitFileFailed and" from above, because implementation there
seems to be correct.

> Key: KAFKA-8999
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8999
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: streams
> Reporter: Stefan Hoffmeister
> Priority: Major
>
> The implementation of apache.kafka.common.utils.Utils.delete masks any errors
> it encounters during recursive deletes of a directory.
> [https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/2.4/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/common/utils/Utils.java#L748]
> is implemented such that for postVisitDirectory on SimpleFileVisitor any
> _unknown_ exception information present is simply discarded.
> At the very least, these exceptions should be logged at TRACE level, to be
> able to determine the root cause of any such failures.
> Beyond logging, it might be worthwhile reviewing whether ignoring an
> exception flagged on postVisitDirectory is correct, as that very exception
> might prevent the visited directory from being deleted.
> This relates indirectly to debugging KAFKA-6647, where the masking of errors
> here effectively hides why Kafka Streams sometimes throws
> DirectoryNotEmptyException (there is analysis on KAFKA-6647 why this may be
> the case - fixing this defect here would at least provide sufficient error
> context information)
