Hi all,
I'm using Kafka 8.2.1 with two brokers hosting a handful of topics.
Unfortunately, both broker service died. When I brought them back up,
several partitions are unavailable:
> /opt/kafka/kafka-current/bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper
zoo1,zoo2,zoo3 --unavailable-partitions --describe
Topic: topic1 Partition: 0 Leader: -1 Replicas: 1 Isr:
Topic: topic1 Partition: 1 Leader: -1 Replicas: 1 Isr:
Topic: topic2 Partition: 0 Leader: -1 Replicas: 1 Isr:
Topic: topic2 Partition: 1 Leader: -1 Replicas: 1 Isr:
....
I've poked at the kafka-reassign-partitions.sh and
kafka-preferred-replica-election.sh commands to see if those would help.
In the end, restarting one of the Kafka brokers twice seemed to fix the
issue. My question is:
Should I have done anything differently? Is there any way to
encourage/tell Kafka brokers what to host after a service failure and
restart?
Thanks,
Jim
