    Description

      I have the following kafka streams topology:

      entity-B -> map step -> entity-B-exists (with state store)
      entity-A -> map step -> entity-A-exists (with state store)

      (entity-B-exists, entity-A-exists) -> outer join with state store.

      The topology building code looks like this (some data type, serde, valuemapper, and joiner code omitted):

      def buildTable[V](builder: StreamsBuilder,
                                sourceTopic: String,
                                existsTopic: String,
                                valueSerde: Serde[V],
                                valueMapper: ValueMapper[String, V]): KTable[String, V] = {
      
        val stream: KStream[String, String] = builder.stream[String, String](sourceTopic)
        val transformed: KStream[String, V] = stream.mapValues(valueMapper)
        transformed.to(existsTopic, Produced.`with`(Serdes.String(), valueSerde))
      
        val inMemoryStoreName = s"$existsTopic-persisted"
      
        val materialized = Materialized.as(Stores.inMemoryKeyValueStore(inMemoryStoreName))
            .withKeySerde(Serdes.String())
            .withValueSerde(valueSerde)
            .withLoggingDisabled()
      
        builder.table(existsTopic, materialized)
      }
      
      
      val builder = new StreamsBuilder
      val mapToEmptyString: ValueMapper[String, String] = (value: String) => if (value != null) "" else null
      
      val entitiesB: KTable[String, EntityBInfo] =
        buildTable(builder,
                   "entity-B",
                   "entity-B-exists",
                   EntityBInfoSerde,
                   ListingImagesToEntityBInfo)
      
      val entitiesA: KTable[String, String] =
        buildTable(builder, "entity-A", "entity-A-exists", Serdes.String(), mapToEmptyString)
      
      val joiner: ValueJoiner[String, EntityBInfo, EntityDiff] = (a, b) => EntityDiff.fromJoin(a, b)
      
      val materialized = Materialized.as(Stores.inMemoryKeyValueStore("entity-A-joined-with-entity-B"))
        .withKeySerde(Serdes.String())
        .withValueSerde(EntityDiffSerde)
        .withLoggingEnabled(new java.util.HashMap[String, String]())
      
      val joined: KTable[String, EntityDiff] = entitiesA.outerJoin(entitiesB, joiner, materialized)
      

      We run 4 processor machines with 30 stream threads each; each topic has 30 partitions so that there is a total of 4 x 30 = 120 partitions to consume. The initial launch of the processor works fine, but when killing one processor and letting him re-join the stream threads leads to some faulty behaviour.

      Fist, the total number of assigned partitions over all processor machines is larger than 120 (sometimes 157, sometimes just 132), so the partition / task assignment seems to assign the same job to different stream threads.

      The processor machines trying to re-join the consumer group fail constantly with the error message of 'Detected a task that got migrated to another thread.' We gave the processor half an hour to recover; usually, rebuilding the KTable states take around 20 seconds (with Kafka 0.11.0.1).

      Here are the details of the errors we see:

      stream-thread [kafka-processor-6-StreamThread-9] Detected a task that got migrated to another thread. This implies that this thread missed a rebalance and dropped out of the consumer group. Trying to rejoin the consumer group now.

      That one surprises me: the KTable state store entity-B-exists-persisted is rebuilt from entity-B-exists that of course can change while the rebuild is happening, since it the topic entity-B-exists is fed by another stream thread.

      Another one, very similar:

      org.apache.kafka.streams.errors.TaskMigratedException: Log end offset of entity-A-exists-24 should not change while restoring: old end offset 6483978, current offset 6485108

      	at org.apache.kafka.streams.processor.internals.StreamThread.run(StreamThread.java:744)
      

      Again, the topic entity-A-exists is fed by another stream thread.

      We saw around 60000 such errors per minute, as the stream threads continuously try to recover and fail.
