All, How do you recover from a bad Kafka 0.8 server.
It failed to keep up with the replicated partitions assigned to it about a month ago. I delete everything in the partitions directories, then created the partition folders assigned to it. I also recreated the replication-offset-checkpoint file, with topcname part 0. Then start Kafka back up. And nothing... No recovery, just a bunch of empty log and index files. It will not recover. I have 2 servers like this, thank god I have 6 servers and almost all partitions have 3 replicas. But I do have a topic that had 1 partition on the servers, now it is showing no leader. Any help would be great. Thanks, Eric Sites
