Description
I am running a KafkaStreams inside a DropWizard server and I am trying to detect when my stream shuts down (in case a non-recoverable error occurs). I was hoping I could use KafkaStreams.setStateListener() to be notified when a state change occurs. When I query the state, KafkaStreams is stuck in the REBALANCING state even though its threads are all DEAD.
You can easily reproduce this by doing the following:
- Create a topic (I have one with 5 partitions)
- Create a simple Kafka stream consuming from that topic
- Create a StateListener and register it on that KafkaStreams
- Start the Kafka stream
- Once everything runs, delete the topic using kafka-topics.sh
When deleting the topic, you will see the StreamThreads' state transition from RUNNING to PARTITION_REVOKED and you will be notified with the KafkaStreams REBALANCING state. That's all good and expected. Then the StreamThreads transition to PENDING_SHUTDOWN and eventually to DEAD and the KafkaStreams state is stuck into the REBALANCING thread. I was expecting to see a NOT_RUNNING state eventually... am I right?
