[jira] [Updated] (KAFKA-1030) Addition of partitions requires bouncing all the consumers of that topic

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1030?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Swapnil Ghike updated KAFKA-1030:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
Consumer may not notice new partitions because the propagation of the metadata to servers can be delayed. 

Options:
1. As Jun suggested on KAFKA-956, the easiest fix would be to read the new partition data from zookeeper instead of a kafka server.
2. Run a fetch metadata loop in consumer, and set auto.offset.reset to smallest once the consumer has started.

1 sounds easier to do. If 1 causes long delays in reading all partitions at the start of every rebalance, 2 may be worth considering.
 
The same issue affects MirrorMaker when new topics are created, MirrorMaker may not notice all partitions of the new topics until the next rebalance.
