    • Brokers of 3 kafka nodes running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo)

    Description

      When creating a stack of 3 kafka brokers, the consumer is starting faster than kafka nodes and when trying to read a topic, only one kafka node is available.
      So the __consumer_offsets is created with a replication factor set to 1 (instead of configured 3) :

      offsets.topic.replication.factor=3
      default.replication.factor=3
      min.insync.replicas=2

      Then, other kafka nodes go up and we have exceptions because the replicas # for __consumer_offsets is 1 and min insync is 2. So exceptions are thrown.

      What I missed is : Why the __consumer_offsets is created with replication to 1 (when 1 broker is running) whereas in server.properties it is set to 3 ?

      To reproduce :

      • Prepare 3 kafka nodes with the 3 lines above added to servers.properties.
      • Run one kafka,
      • Run one consumer (the __consumer_offsets is created with replicas =1)
      • Run 2 more kafka nodes
