Hi, Running some tests on 0811 and wanted to see what happens when a broker is taken down with 'kill'. I bumped into the situation at the subject where launching the broker back left him a bit out of the game as far as I could see using stack driver metrics. Trying to rebalance with "verify consumer rebalance" return an error "no owner for partition" for all partitions of that topic (128 partitions). moreover, yet aside from the issue at hand, changing the group name to a non-existent group returned success. taking both the consumers and producers down allowed the rebalance to return success...
And the question is: How do you restore 100% state after taking down a broker? what is the best practice? what needs be checked and what needs be done? Shlomi
