Multiple Kafka producers with different `ack` - apache-kafka

I'm wondering about some scenario. Let's assume we have Kafka cluster with 3 nodes (97, 98, 99), topic A with replication.factor=3, min.insync.replicas=2 and unclean.leader.election=false. We started two producers: one with ack=all and second with ack=1. Both are continously sending messages to topic A. What happens when:
t[0] broker 97 is partition leader
t[1] producer ack=all sends message to leader, message gets offset 12
t[2] message 12 is replicated to broker 98 but it's not replicated to broker 99
t[3] producer receives acknowledgement
t[4] brokers 97 and 98 goes down
t[5] producer ack=1 sends message
Is it possible that broker 99 will be elected as leader and in timestamp 6, producer receives acknowledgement?
If no - how Kafka knows that broker 99 cannot be elected as leader? Is it connected somehow with High Watermark?
If yes - what offset gets message sent in timetsamp 5? and what will happen when brokers 97 and 98 goes up afterwards?

kafka + This server is not the leader for that topic-partition

I have 5 broker kafka version 0.10 cluster.Replication factor is 3. and this is production kafka
brokers IDS are
101
102
103
104
105
after couple months that cluster was ok , we observed following logs in Kakfa server.log.
from the log we can see many lines of 'This server is not the leader for that topic-partitionb' exception.
the topic - kopa.thrn.bvff have 100 partitions
and we can see that all 100 partitions are balanced and no need to run kafka kafka-reassign-partitions
What may be the possible reason?
Please help me.

The leader broker and the follower brokers manage each partition in Kafka. Since you have replication factor 3, each partition will have one leader broker and 2 follower brokers.
When the Kafka producer produces data, it connects to the leader and puts the data there, the followers will copy the data from the leader.
Now, the Kafka leader broker can be reassigned based on the leader's availability, if the leader was unavailable for some time for any reason in a distributed environment (busy CPU, network partition etc), Kafka will run the leader election for the partition to elect a leader for the partition.
You can see who is the leader and who is the follower by topic describe command.
In your case, the partition leader has been changed due to some unavailability of the leader. If you have Kafka metrics, you could see those leader election events for the partition. It is hard in a distributed environment to ensure one broker will remain the leader forever.

Kafka console consumer commits wrong offset when using --max-messages

I have a kafka console consumer in version 1.1.0 that i use to get messages from Kafka.
When I use kafka-console-consumer.sh script with option --max-messages it seems like it is commiting wrong offsets.
I've created a topic and a consumer group and read some messages:
/kafka_2.11-1.1.0/bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server 192.168.1.23:9092 --describe --group my-consumer-group
TOPIC PARTITION CURRENT-OFFSET LOG-END-OFFSET LAG CONSUMER-ID HOST CLIENT-ID
test.offset 1 374 374 0 - - -
test.offset 0 0 375 375 - - -
Than I read 10 messages like this:
/kafka_2.11-1.1.0/bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server 192.168.1.23:9092 --topic test.offset --timeout-ms 1000 --max-messages 10 --consumer.config /kafka_2.11-1.1.0/config/consumer.properties

5 var_5
7 var_7
9 var_9
11 var_11
13 var_13
15 var_15
17 var_17
19 var_19
Processed a total of 10 messages
But now offsets show that it read all the messages in a topic
/kafka_2.11-1.1.0/bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server 192.168.1.23:9092 --describe --group my-consumer-group
Note: This will not show information about old Zookeeper-based consumers.
Consumer group 'my-consumer-group' has no active members.
TOPIC PARTITION CURRENT-OFFSET LOG-END-OFFSET LAG CONSUMER-ID HOST CLIENT-ID
test.offset 1 374 374 0 - - -
test.offset 0 375 375 0 - - -
And now when I want to read more messages I get an error that there are no more messages in a topic:
/kafka_2.11-1.1.0/bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server 192.168.1.23:9092 --topic test.offset --timeout-ms 1000 --max-messages 10 --consumer.config /kafka_2.11-1.1.0/config/consumer.properties

What do I do wrong? Why the offset moved to last message in topic and not just by 10 messages?
This is about auto commit feature of Kafka consumer. As mentioned in this link:
The easiest way to commit offsets is to allow the consumer to do it
for you. If you configure enable.auto.commit=true, then every five
seconds the consumer will commit the largest offset your client
received from poll(). The five-second interval is the default and is
controlled by setting auto.commit.interval.ms. Just like everything
else in the consumer, the automatic commits are driven by the poll
loop. Whenever you poll, the consumer checks if it is time to commit,
and if it is, it will commit the offsets it returned in the last poll.
So in your case when your consumer poll, it receives messages up to 500 (default value of max.poll.records) and after 5 seconds it commits largest offset that return from last poll (375 in your case) even you specify max-messages as 10.
--max-messages: The maximum number of messages to
consume before exiting. If not set,
consumption is continual.

Kafka broker are keep on restarting?

I have 4 kafka brokers and 3 zookeepers deployed upon kubernetes. Out of 4 only 2 kafka brokers are working and rest 2 keep shutting down and restart with below error:
Exiting because log truncation is not allowed for partition byfn-sys-channel-0, current leader's latest offset 2 is less than replica's latest offset 21 (kafka.server.ReplicaFetcherThread)

Subset of stream's changelog and repartition partitions not available as broker is down - how stream should behave?

My setup consists of 3 kafka brokers (2.11-1.1.1), a single ZK and a java service that is using the Streams API.
The java service is consuming from topic A, performs a persistent stream operation (backed up by a changelog and a repartition streams topic) and writes to topic B. EOS semantics are enabled.
Given that the changelog and repartition topics have replication factor of 1, how should the streams java app behave in case one of my brokers is down (e.g. in my DEV env the disk is full only for one broker). Will the stream continue to consume even if 1/3 of the changelog and repartition partitions are not reachable?
EDIT: Also given that topics A, B and __consumer_offsets have RF=3.
In my java service logs I see:
2019-01-04 09:14:38,787 UTC WARN kafka-producer-network-thread | trsb-app-

1_10] Connection to node 1 could not be established. Broker may not be

And nothing is consumed.
In both working broker logs I see:
[2019-01-04 13:56:56,449] WARN Resetting first dirty offset of trsb-app-
nonprod.snapshot-store.invoices-changelog-43 to log start offset 99 since

nonprod.snapshot-store.invoices-changelog-40 to log start offset 103 since

Since you are using exactly once semantics, a minimum of 3 brokers are needed to continue processing, so your app would not continue to process if one of the brokers went down. Read here (see processing.guarantee section) for more info regarding this:
https://kafka.apache.org/10/documentation/streams/developer-guide/config-streams.html#id25
The stream continues to consume, but as the state store, depending on the message key, may no be pushable to its corresponding changelog partition, some keys may fail and these transactions will fail and be rollbacked. As a result, the first key on topic A that once consumed will cause the state store push to fail, will block its partition till the broker is up again. This is because the state store push is part of the EOS transaction.

Apache storm kafka spout only reading from half of a topic's partitions

A problem developed on our production Storm cluster that we cannot figure out or work around.
At some point it appears that the kafka spout stopped reading from half of the topic partitions. There are 40 partitions, and it is only reading from 20 of them. We cannot find any changes that we made to either the storm cluster or kafka at the time this started happening.
We changed the consumer group id and set the spout config startOffsetTime to OffsetRequest.LatestTime to try to get it reading fresh data from all partitions. It still only connects to the same 20 partitions. We've looked at the node /<topic>/<consumer_group> inside the Storm zookeeper and see only 20 partitions there.
We have verified that messages are being published to all 40 partitions.
Kafka version is 0.9.0.1,storm version is 1.1.0.
Any tips on how to debug or where to look would be greatly appreciated. Did I mention that this is happening in production? Did I mention it started a week ago, and we just noticed this morning? :(
Additional info: we found some errors in the Kafka state change log (partition 9 is one of the affected partitions and the timestamp in the log looks to be about the time that the problem started)

Possibly caused by this bug: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3963
But how can we recover from it?
I'd start by looking in Kafka's Zookeeper under /brokers/topics to verify that all partitions are listed. That's where storm-kafka reads the partitions from.
