Here's the jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-19012
I have a bit of new information as well: - to your comment Alex, in our case the original message is not published to the intended topic as it happened for you. Instead, the message only ends up on the wrong topic - Ismael: the client had permission to publish to any topic. It first started happening around 4 months ago, because of the low frequency it's tough to point to what changed that it's now triggered. The biggest recent changes (upgrading broker version, upgrading kafka client version) all happened > 6 months before it occurred. We did have other smaller changes of varying closeness in time, but none of them seem to be the culprit (code changes that increased the load average on the client machine -> we've scaled out to lower the load and had no chance in frequency, various code changes we temporarily reverted or deactivated but still saw occurrences, etc).
