Offset out of range error in Kafka, 카프카 트러블슈팅

The "Offset out of range" error in Kafka typically occurs when a consumer tries to read an offset that no longer exists on the broker. This can happen for several reasons, such as:

  • The offset is smaller than the earliest offset available for the topic partition (i.e., the messages have been deleted due to log retention policies).
  • The offset is larger than the latest offset available for the topic partition (i.e., the consumer is trying to read beyond the latest message).

Steps to Resolve "Offset Out of Range" Error

1. Check Current Offsets

Before making changes, it's useful to understand the current offsets and the offset range available for the topic partitions. Use the kafka-consumer-groups.sh script to describe the consumer group:

bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --describe --group <consumer-group-id>

This command will show the current offsets, log end offsets, and the lag for each partition.

2. Reset the Offsets

You can reset the offsets to a valid range using the kafka-consumer-groups.sh script. You have several options for resetting offsets:

a. Reset to the Earliest Offset

This sets the consumer's offset to the earliest available offset.

bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --group <consumer-group-id> --topic <topic-name> --reset-offsets --to-earliest --execute
b. Reset to the Latest Offset

This sets the consumer's offset to the latest offset (i.e., the end of the log).

bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --group <consumer-group-id> --topic <topic-name> --reset-offsets --to-latest --execute
c. Reset to a Specific Offset

This sets the consumer's offset to a specific value.

bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --group <consumer-group-id> --topic <topic-name> --reset-offsets --to-offset <offset-value> --execute
d. Reset by Duration

This sets the consumer's offset to a specific duration ago (e.g., 1 hour ago).

bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --group <consumer-group-id> --topic <topic-name> --reset-offsets --by-duration <duration> --execute

For example, to reset to offsets from 1 hour ago:

bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --group <consumer-group-id> --topic <topic-name> --reset-offsets --by-duration 1h --execute

3. Restart the Consumer

After resetting the offsets, restart your consumer application. It should now start consuming messages from the new offsets.

Additional Considerations

  • Retention Policies: Ensure your Kafka retention policies are correctly configured to retain messages for a sufficient period. You can configure log retention settings in the Kafka broker configuration (server.properties):

    log.retention.hours=168 # Retain logs for 7 days
    log.retention.bytes=1073741824 # Retain logs until they reach 1 GB
    
  • Consumer Group Management: Be aware of how consumer groups manage offsets. Each consumer group tracks its own offsets for each partition of the topic. Ensure that consumers in the same group are coordinated correctly.

  • Monitoring and Alerts: Implement monitoring and alerting for your Kafka consumers and brokers to detect and respond to issues such as offset out of range errors.

Example Script for Resetting Offsets

Here's a sample script to reset offsets to the earliest available offset:

#!/bin/bash

# Variables
BOOTSTRAP_SERVER="localhost:9092"
CONSUMER_GROUP="<consumer-group-id>"
TOPIC="<topic-name>"

# Reset offsets to earliest
bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server $BOOTSTRAP_SERVER --group $CONSUMER_GROUP --topic $TOPIC --reset-offsets --to-earliest --execute

# Describe consumer group to verify
bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server $BOOTSTRAP_SERVER --describe --group $CONSUMER_GROUP

Replace <consumer-group-id> and <topic-name> with your specific consumer group ID and topic name.

By following these steps, you can resolve the "Offset out of range" error in Kafka and ensure your consumers are reading messages from valid offsets.
