There are two cases where we need to send UpdateMetadataRequest. 1. If the broker doesn't host any replicas. This is the new case that you identified since we won't send any UpdateMetadataRequest in PartitionStateMachine and we want to propagate the offline broker to other brokers. 2. If partitionsWithOfflineLeader is not empty, partitionStateMachine.triggerOnlinePartitionStateChange() would send UpdateMetadataRequest as part of the transitioning of those partitions to online. So, we don't need to send UpdateMetadataRequest again. If partitionsWithOfflineLeader is empty, we do want to send UpdateMetadataRequest to propagate the offline broker. So, it seem that the check should be if (newOfflineReplicas.isEmpty || partitionsWithOfflineLeader.isEmpty). It would be useful to adjust the comment above accordingly. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
