Hi,

We have issues in getting the topic metadata created when we use the TopicCommand.createTopic() API.

We have the following configurations
Red Hat Linux 6.2, Kernel 2.6.32-431.eI6.x86_64 on an x86_64
2 GB RAM
2 Core CPU.

Following are the steps and results for the exception that we encountered.

1. We created the topic using TopicCommand.createTopic() and it returned without any issues.

2. The producer is trying to add the data to the topic.

3. The producer fails with an exception

k.p.BrokerPartitionInfo - Error while fetching metadata [

{TopicMetadata for topic tloader1 -> No partition metadata for topic tloader1 due to kafka.common.UnknownTopicOrPartitionException}

] for topic [tloader1]: class kafka.common.UnknownTopicOrPartitionException

4. We checked the log directory of kafka and we don't see the folder for the topic that we tried to create.

5. We can list the topic using the list command on the terminal.

6. We checked the zookeeper and we don't see the sub-nodes for the partitions under topic.

We haven't seen this happening always. We use the default configurations for Kafka except we overridden the auto creation of topics. Attached are the zookeeper and kafka configurations.

We pass the following in the arguments
replication-factor : 1
partition : 1

zkClient = new ZkClient(zookeeperHost, Integer.valueOf(sessionTimeoutMs), Integer.valueOf(connectionTimeoutMs), MODULE$);
TopicCommand.createTopic(zkClient, new TopicCommandOptions(arguments));

Thanks,
Pradeep V.B.
