Re: High level consumer replaying the messages

[Arjun]

Thanks for the quick reply Jun. I will be checking it. I think there is 
one more thing to this problem, the partitions which dont have any owner 
are consuming the messgaes when the producer is pushing the messages 
into kafka, but these are not giving those messgaes to the actual 
consumer. the lag in those partitions is increased a lot. The data is 
the production data and we cant afford to lose it. can Some thing be 
done to it.
Thanks

Do you see many rebalances in the consumer log? If so, see

Hi ,

I have set up kafka 0.8 in 3 servers. I have pushed some data into these
servers. The number of partitions i use is 12, with a replication factor of
2.
We use high level consumer to consume messages. we set auto commit to
false, and we do commits almost after each and every successful message
consumption.
The problem i am facing now is, If i restart my consumers, then the
messages are getting replayed.

I checked the

bin/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.ConsumerOffsetChecker --group group1
--zkconnect zkhost:zkport --topic testtopic

I see a high lag in some of the partitions and some partitions have none
as the owner.
To verify consumer rebalance i used the following command

bin/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.VerifyConsumerRebalance --group group1
--zookeeper.connect zkhost:zkport

but i see errors

I have seen this ( http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kafka-users/
201311.mbox/%3CCA+B+UZsnpuNicHcj6Q6yJaLccyhNmoOieM
j_esy0yqucoem...@mail.gmail.com%3E) in the mail archives and i checked my
consumer log for those patterns but couldn't find any in my logs.

Can some one help me with this.
