Hi, I have ran into a strange issue when using the kafka producer.
I got the following exception: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid partition given with record: 5 is not in the range [0...2]. at org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.Partitioner.partition(Partitioner.java:52) at org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.KafkaProducer.send(KafkaProducer.java:333) at org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kafka.FlinkKafkaProducerBase.invoke(FlinkKafkaProducerBase.java:260) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.StreamSink.processElement(StreamSink.java:39) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.OperatorChain$CopyingChainingOutput.collect(OperatorChain.java:351) ... 19 more It looks like the partition number returned by the partitioner is out of range, which is pretty much impossible as I am doing a very straightforward mod-hash partitioning logic: return (int) Math.abs(element.hashCode() % numPartitions); This topic is supposed to have 16 partitions and it shows it only has 3 and thus the out of bound error for the partitioner. I am not completely sure what happened with the Kafka cluster that could have caused this issue to appear. This issue also appears if I restore from a savepoint/checkpoint before this happened, it runs for a couple of minutes then crashes. (I am also not completely sure why it doesnt crash immediately) Has anyone seen something similar before? Thanks! Gyula
