Ok, thanks for the information. I tried setting the client ID to "bruce" and the
problem disappeared.  I looked at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/A+Guide+To+The+Kafka+Protocol
and it doesn't say anything about an empty client ID not being allowed (even
if it isn't allowed, Kafka shouldn't crash on receiving such a request).
Therefore I think this should be considered a bug, and a regression from 0.8.
As a workaround, I'll avoid sending requests with an empty client ID.

Thanks,
Dave

Looks like you aren't setting the request client-id, and server is crashing
on it. I'm not sure whether server api is expected to work w/o client-id,
but you can probably fix by sending one. Fwiw, kafka-python sends
'kafka-python' unless user specifies something else.

message I sent.

Subject: trouble sending produce requests to 0.9.0.0 broker cluster

Hi,

I'm having trouble sending produce requests to a Kafka 0.9.0.0 broker
cluster consisting of 4 brokers with IDs 0, 1, 2, and 3.  All 4
brokers are running locally on my CentOS 7 development box, listening
on ports 9092, 9093, 9094, and 9095 respectively.  I am running my
own producer code (Bruce, see https://github.com/ifwe/bruce), which
works without problems with Kafka 0.8, but has problems with 0.9.0.0.
When I send a produce request consisting of a single message, I often
get a response consisting of error ACK -1 (Unknown, unexpected server
error) although I have also seen other errors such as 6
(NotLeaderForPartition).  During one observed instance of this
behavior I saw the following:

     sent produce request
     --------------------
     - single message set containing a single message
     - topic: "topic_1"
     - partition: 3
     - empty key
     - value: "hello world"
     - API key: 0 (produce request)
     - API version: 0
     - correlation ID: 1
     - empty client ID
     - required ACKs: 1
     - timeout: 10000
     - message magic byte: 0
     - message attributes: 0 (no compression)
     - destination broker ID: 3

     received produce response
     -------------------------
     - correlation ID: 1
     - topic: "topic_1"
     - partition: 3
     - error code: -1

I have included tcpdump output for the above request and response
below.  The topic/partition layout is as follows:

     $ bin/kafka-topics.sh --describe --zookeeper
localhost:2181/kafka-0.9.0.0
     Topic:topic_1       PartitionCount:4        ReplicationFactor:2
  Configs:
         Topic: topic_1  Partition: 0    Leader: 0       Replicas: 0,1
  Isr: 0,1
         Topic: topic_1  Partition: 1    Leader: 1       Replicas: 1,2
  Isr: 2,1
         Topic: topic_1  Partition: 2    Leader: 2       Replicas: 2,3
  Isr: 2,3
         Topic: topic_1  Partition: 3    Leader: 3       Replicas: 3,0
  Isr: 0,3
     $

Does anyone have any ideas about what may be causing this behavior?

Additionally, I was using tcpdump to watch communication between
kafka-console-producer.sh and the broker cluster, and noticed that
the console producer sends a value of 1 for the API version in its
produce requests.  Is there any documentation describing protocol
changes between API versions 0 and 1?  I looked here:


https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/A+Guide+To+The+Kafka+Protocol

and didn't see anything about the new API version.  Any help is much
appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
