[KAFKA-6221] ReplicaFetcherThread throws UnknownTopicOrPartitionException on topic creation

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Minor
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 0.10.1.1, 0.10.2.0, 0.10.2.1, 0.11.0.1, 1.0.0
• Component/s: core
• Environment: RHEL 7
• Assignee: Unassigned

Description

This issue appeared to happen frequently on 0.10.2.0.
On 0.10.2.1 and 1.0.0 it's a way harder to reproduce.
We'll focus on reproducing it on 0.10.2.1 and 1.0.0.

TOPOLOGY:
3 brokers, 1 zk.

REPRODUCING STRATEGY:
Create a few dozens topics (say, 40) one by one, each with replication factor 2. Number of partitions, generally, does not matter but, for easier reproduction, should not be too small (around 30 or so).

CREATE 40 TOPICS:

 for i in {1..40}; do bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --topic "topic${i}_p28_r2" --partitions 28 --replication-factor 2 --zookeeper :2165; done

RESULTS:
As you can see, the problem occurs on

• partitions [3,9,15,21,27] of topic `topic1_p28_r2`
• partitions [0,6,12,18,14] of topic `topic20_p28_r2`
• partitions [4,10,16,22] of topic `topic30_p28_r2`

Partitions are either odd or even.
Every "unlucky" partition, except the starting one, for each topic, appears to be the 6th in the row. For instance:

• 3, 9(3+6), 15(3+6+6), ...
• 0, 6(0+6), 12(0+6+6), ...
• 4, ...
