    Description

      A failure in the below test may imply to a genuine missing message.

      kafkatest.tests.core.reassign_partitions_test.ReassignPartitionsTest.test_reassign_partitions.bounce_brokers=True.security_protocol=PLAINTEXT

      The test - which reassigns partition whilst bouncing cluster members - reconciles messages ack'd with messages received in the consumer.

      The interesting part is that we received two ack's for the same offset, with different messages:

      {"topic":"test_topic","partition":11,"name":"producer_send_success","value":"7447","time_ms":1488349980718,"offset":372,"key":null} {"topic":"test_topic","partition":11,"name":"producer_send_success","value":"7487","time_ms":1488349981780,"offset":372,"key":null}

      When searching the log files, via kafka.tools.DumpLogSegments, only the later message is found.

      The missing message lies midway through the test and appears to occur after a leader moves (after 7447 is sent there is a ~1s pause, then 7487 is sent, along with a backlog of messages for partitions 11, 16, 6).

      The overall implication is a message appears to be acknowledged but later lost.

      Looking at the test itself it seems valid. The producer is initialised with acks = -1. The callback checks for an exception in the onCompletion callback and uses this to track acknowledgement in the test.
