Hi, We have currently upgraded our kafka cluster from 0.7.2 to 0.8.1.1.
In one of our application, we want to get all partitions' latest offsets, so we use getoffsetbefore java API (latest). We believe at some time, 1 of the partition's latest offset we got is much smaller than its real latest offset,(we saw in the application's log that the partition's offset is much smaller than other partitions'). Since the real data file of that partition was already deleted, we cannot prove our guess, but we found some clue in the kafka's application log which helps us to conclude that the partition's latest offset at that moment did have a much larger number. some additional useful information: the partition have 1 additional replica(follower), and at that time, it was not synced with the leader partition(far away behind the leader). Does any one have the same issue? In what condition could lead to this situation? Thanks. -- *Best Regards向河林*
