Dear Team, 

Problem Statement: While creating new topics ISR for all the topics getting shrink automatically, even though we created topic it was throwing below errors in kafka server.log.

VERSIONS:

  1. Kafka version (0.10.0),
  2. HDP-2.6.3.0
  3. No. of Brokers 3 with 16GB JVM Heap.

We have tried below steps as per the URL but no luck 😞

https://medium.com/@nblaye/reset-consumer-offsets-topic-in-kafka-with-zookeeper-5910213284a2

  1. We stop all brokers.
  2. Removed below files from all brokers.

cleaner-offset-checkpoint , .lock , recovery-point-offset-checkpoint , replication-offset-checkpoint

  1. Restarted all brokers.

Logs for reference found in server.log

Can you share the syntax for the topic creation? Is you cluster kerberized?  Is your Ranger Kafka plugin enabled? 
Please response and tag me!

@Shelton ,

-Syntax of topic creation : 
kafka-topics.sh --create --topic "topic_name" --partitions 1 --replication-factor 2 --zookeeper broker_Fqdn1:2181,broker_Fqdn2:2181,broker_Fqdn3:2181

-Yes my cluster is kerberized.

-Yes ranger Kafka plugin is enabled

Thanks in advance.

Can you change your syntax as below, note the zookeeper ensemble

/bin/kafka-topics.sh --create \
--zookeeper zk1:2181,zk2:2181,zk3:2181 \
--topic "topic_name" \
--partitions 1> \
--replication-factor 2

Hope that helps

Any updates? Do you still need help?

@Shelton ,
sorry for replying late, 

The syntax you gave is the same we used to create the topic, but one doubt is the ">" which is after 1 is typo error or the valid syntax. Also, we are using zk to create topics.

--partitions 1> \

 Still, i can see the error in Kafka:

 WARN [ReplicaFetcherThread-0-1001], Error in fetch kafka.server.ReplicaFetcherThread$FetchRequest@11c4fb92 (kafka.server.ReplicaFetcherThread)
java.io.IOException: Connection to 1001 was disconnected before the response was read

Thankyou for help in advance
