Hi there,
A few days ago i have written about an issue (0.8.0) when auto-create topic
is enabled and consumer starts before producer (consumer never sees any
message and they seem to be lost even by the brokers)
Now i have done the same test with 0.8.1 and the issue is partially fixed
but now the consumer never sees the first message in the topic.
These are the steps:
1) kafka-console-consumer --topic newTopic (it doesn't exist)
2) kafka-console-producer --topic newTopic
3) Send the first messages
4) I can see this in the log and the consumer never receives this first
message
[2014-03-13 10:24:07,223] WARN Error while fetching metadata
[{TopicMetadata for topic test3 ->

kafka.common.LeaderNotAvailableException}] for topic [test3]: class

5) send more messages
6) consumer receives all the messages (but the first one).
The same issue appears when you first start the producer and then the
consumer (on a new topic).
