Hi, I am running a cluster with a single broker, the performance producer script and 3 consumers. On a fresh start of the cluster , the producer throws this exception. I was able to run this cluster successfully on the same topic ( test2 ) successfully the first time.
The solution( from stackoverflow ) seems to be to delete the topic data in the broker and in zookeeper. This doesnt seem to be a viable production solution to me. Is there a way to solve this without losing topic data ? Also does the incidence of this problem decrease if I run more brokers/servers ? I see logs like these in the server.log [2014-06-10 10:45:35,194] WARN [KafkaApi-0] Offset request with correlation id 0 from client on partition [test2,0] failed due to Topic test2 either doesn't exist or is in the process of being deleted (kafka.server.KafkaApis) [2014-06-10 10:45:35,211] WARN [KafkaApi-0] Offset request with correlation id 0 from client on partition [test2,1] failed due to Topic test2 either doesn't exist or is in the process of being deleted (kafka.server.KafkaApis) [2014-06-10 10:45:35,221] WARN [KafkaApi-0] Offset request with correlation id 0 from client on partition [test2,2] failed due to Topic test2 either doesn't exist or is in the process of being deleted (kafka.server.KafkaApis) The exception trace is: [2014-06-10 10:45:32,464] ERROR Error in handling batch of 200 events (kafka.producer.async.ProducerSendThread) kafka.common.FailedToSendMessageException: Failed to send messages after 3 tries. at kafka.producer.async.DefaultEventHandler.handle(DefaultEventHandler.scala:90) at kafka.producer.async.ProducerSendThread.tryToHandle(ProducerSendThread.scala:104) at kafka.producer.async.ProducerSendThread$$anonfun$processEvents$3.apply(ProducerSendThread.scala:87) at kafka.producer.async.ProducerSendThread$$anonfun$processEvents$3.apply(ProducerSendThread.scala:67) at scala.collection.immutable.Stream.foreach(Stream.scala:526) at kafka.producer.async.ProducerSendThread.processEvents(ProducerSendThread.scala:66) at kafka.producer.async.ProducerSendThread.run(ProducerSendThread.scala:44) [2014-06-10 10:45:32,464] ERROR Failed to send requests for topics test2 with correlation ids in [41,48] (kafka.producer.async.DefaultEventHandler) [2014-06-10 10:45:32,464] WARN Error while fetching metadata [{TopicMetadata for topic test2 -> No partition metadata for topic test2 due to kafka.common.LeaderNotAvailableException}] for topic [test2]: class kafka.common.LeaderNotAvailableException (kafka.producer.BrokerPartitionInfo) [2014-06-10 10:45:32,464] ERROR Error in handling batch of 200 events (kafka.producer.async.ProducerSendThread) kafka.common.FailedToSendMessageException: Failed to send messages after 3 tries. at kafka.producer.async.DefaultEventHandler.handle(DefaultEventHandler.scala:90) at kafka.producer.async.ProducerSendThread.tryToHandle(ProducerSendThread.scala:104) at kafka.producer.async.ProducerSendThread$$anonfun$processEvents$3.apply(ProducerSendThread.scala:87) at kafka.producer.async.ProducerSendThread$$anonfun$processEvents$3.apply(ProducerSendThread.scala:67) at scala.collection.immutable.Stream.foreach(Stream.scala:526) at kafka.producer.async.ProducerSendThread.processEvents(ProducerSendThread.scala:66) at kafka.producer.async.ProducerSendThread.run(ProducerSendThread.scala:44)
