Sometimes there can be a need to downgrade the cluster-wide availability of one or more broker features from some finalized version max version X to a version Y, where Y < X. Firstly, we leave it to the cluster operator (i.e. human) to decide whether the downgrade is backwards compatible in the first place i.e. externally ensure the changes introduced/exercised in version Y are no longer relevant in the system ahead of the downgrade. As for the support we provide:
The rules are the same as with upgrades → such a downgrade request is rejected by the system, unless all brokers support the downgraded version Y of the feature.
- We assume downgrades of finalized feature max versions are rare. For safety reasons, we request for the human to specify an explicit "force downgrade" flag (in the API/tool) to avoid accidental downgrades to finalized max versions.
A need can arise to deprecate the usage of a certain version of one or more broker feature. We do not provide any special support for this. Instead, the cluster operator (i.e. human) should use external means to establish that it is safe to stop supporting a particular version of broker feature. For example, verify (if needed) that no clients are actively using the version, before deciding to stop supporting it.
...
Each broker will advertise the version range of it’s features in it’s own
BrokerIdZnode
during startup. The contents of the advertisement are specific to the broker binary, but the schema is common to all brokers.The controller already watches
BrokerIdZnode
updates, and will serve as a gateway (via a newly introduced API) to finalize version upgrades to features – controller is well positioned to serve this requirement since it has a global view of allBrokerIdZnode
in the cluster, and can avoid most race conditions in the solution.As for the metadata about cluster-wide finalized maximum versions of features (also referred to as feature version level), this information will be persisted in ZK by the controller. The controller will be the one and only entity modifying this information (we expect metadata write traffic to be very low). All brokers in the cluster setup watches on the ZK node containing the finalized features information, thereby they get notified whenever the contents of the node are change via the controller.
Finally, client discovery about finalized feature versions will be performed via
ApiKeys.API_VERSIONS
API – the response will be modified to contain the necessary information (served from broker cache). Using this decentralized approach, we scale for metadata reads, albeit with eventually consistent results.

The schema is a JSON dictionary with few different keys and values, as explained below:
The value for the
version
key is an int64 that contains the version of the schema of the data stored in the ZK node.- The value for the
data
key is a dictionary that contains the following:- A key called
features
whose value is a dictionary. This contains a mapping from feature names to their metadata (such as finalized versions). It's amap{string → map{string → <string | number>}}
<feature_name>

<metadata_key> refers to the second nested level key that’s a non-empty string that refers to some feature metadata.
<metadata_value> is either a string or a number – it's the value for the <metadata_key>.
Note: this nested dictionary would contain the key: 'version_level' whose value is an int64 representing the finalized cluster-wide max version for the feature.

New controller
...
API
We introduce 2 1 new Admin APIsAPI that’s served only by the controller, and identified by the new API keyskey: ApiKeys.UPDATE_FEATURES
and ApiKeys.DELETE_FEATURES
. .
This API enables safe transactional application of a set of cluster-wide feature updates :
...
to the ZK '/features'
node (i.e. either all provided FeatureUpdate
are applied to ZK, or none):
The
...
API request is a list of
FeatureUpdate
that need to be applied. Each item specifies an operation (as aFeatureUpdateType
) such as:
...
FeatureUpdateType.ADD_OR_UPDATE:
Adds or updates a newFeature
with a finalized max version. Addition of a feature can happen when the cluster-wide max feature version is being finalized for the first time for a feature.
...
Optionally also enable downgrades as part of a certain FeatureUpdate
.
...
FeatureUpdateType.ADD_OR_UPDATE_ALLOW_DOWNGRADE:
Same as above, but also allows for feature version downgrades.FeatureUpdateType.DELETE:
Deletes a specified feature. The version number provided is ignored for deletions
ApiKeys.DELETE_FEATURES:
...
- .
- The response contains an error code and an error message.
To help explain things better, here are the request and response definitions for the new API to update features (also see section showing related pseudocode for the Admin API):

For correctness reasons, the controller shall allow processing of only one inflight
ApiKeys.UPDATE_FEATURES
API call at any given time.Prior to mutating
'/features'
in ZK, the implementation verifies that all broker advertisements (as seen by it thus far) contained no incompatibilities with the providedList<FeatureUpdate>
(see Validations section below). Note thatFeatureUpdateType.DELETE
should only be used in circumstances where a finalized feature needs to be garbage collected. This type mutates '/features' in ZK without any guarding checks on feature versions.Once validations in #2 are successful, the
List<FeatureUpdate>
are applied to contents of'/features'
ZK node. Upon successful write, ZK should automatically increment the version of the node by 1.Finally, an
UpdateFeatureResponse
is returned to the user.

A server-side error means the

Client discovery of finalized feature versions
The latest
For correctness reasons, the controller shall allow processing of only one inflight
ApiKeys.DELETE_FEATURES
API call at any given time.- This API should only be used in circumstances where a finalized feature needs to be garbage collected.
Unlike the
ApiKeys.DELETE_FEATURES
API, this API mutates'/features'
in ZK without any guarding checks on feature versions. Upon successful write, ZK should automatically increment the version of the node by 1.
Guarantees
When a call to the ApiKeys.DELETE_FEATURES
API returns a success return code to the client, the following is guaranteed:
Each feature provided in the request was valid, and all provided features were removed from the
'/features'
ZK node by the controller (along with a bump to the ZK node version).- Brokers in the cluster have gradually started receiving notifications (via ZK watches) on the changes to '/features' ZK node. They react by reading the latest contents of the node from ZK, and re-establishing the ZK watch.
When a call to the ApiKeys.DELETE_FEATURES
API has failed on the client side, the following is guaranteed:
A server-side error means the
'/features'
ZK node is guaranteed to be left unmodified.A network error, or if the client dies during the request, or if the server dies when processing the request, it means the user should assume that the application of the deletions may have either succeeded or failed.
Client discovery of finalized feature versions
The latest list of cluster-wide finalized feature versions will be served via the existing ApiKeys.API_VERSIONS
API. This is used for client discovery, as well as for debuggability of the system. We will introduce a tagged optional field in the schema of the ApiVersionsResponse
to accommodate the information. Couple implementation details:
Whenever ZK notifies the broker about a change to
'/features'
node, the broker reads the latest list of finalized features from ZK and caches it in memory (also see Broker protections section in this doc).We will modify the implementation of the
ApiKeys.API_VERSIONS
API to populate the information about finalized features in the response. This will contain the cluster-wide finalized versions from the broker’s internal ZK cache of'/features'
node contents (as explained above), as well as the broker-level supported versions.The finalized feature versions populated in the response will be eventually consistent, since it is refreshed in the brokers via ZK watches.

Validation shall be introduced during broker startup. This involves synchronously reading the cluster-wide feature versions from the
'/features'
ZK node just after initializing the ZK client, and before creating the broker’s own ephemeral node (roughly here). The feature versions available in the broker are checked against the contents of the node to ensure there are no incompatibilities. If an incompatibility is detected, the broker will be made to shutdown immediately.A watch is setup on
'/features'
ZK node. Then, the above validation will be reused in the code path that reads the contents of the '/features' ZK node whenever a watch fires. This affirms that the feature versions available in the broker always remain compatible with the cluster-wide feature versions read from ZK.
NOTE: The logic for the validations will be exactly the same as the one described under Validations section under Controller API.
Incompatible broker lifetime race condition
One of the expectations about broker behavior, which is already followed in the broker, is the following.Description of a rare race condition:
- Imagine at time T1 the a broker B starts up, passes feature validation, and registers it’s presence in ZK in its
BrokerIdZnode
, along with advertising it’s supported features. Assume that this is broker B is about to become incompatible in it's feature set, in comparison to cluster-wide finalized feature versions. - Concurrent to T1, feature version upgrade is finalized in the controller which causes broker B to become incompatible in it's feature set.
- Imagine at a future time T2 the broker receives the a ZK notification about a change to
'/features'
node. The broker validates the new contents of'/features'
node against it’s supported features to make sure there is no mismatch (it will shutdown if there is an incompatibility)features, finds an incompatibility and shuts down immediately.
Question: What if between T1 and T2, the broker contains B containing incompatible features lingers in the cluster? would Would this cause a harm to the cluster?
Answer: The current behavior of the broker (which we intend to preserve) is that in between the 2 events T1 and T2, the broker is almost a silent entity in the cluster. It does not add any value to the cluster, or carry out any important broker activities. By “important”, we mean it is not doing mutations on it’s persistence, not mutating critical in-memory state, won’t be serving produce/fetch requests. Note it doesn’t even know it’s assigned partitions until it receives UpdateMetadataRequest
from the controller. It is important to note that anything the broker is doing up until this point is not damaging/useful This window is really very small (milli seconds), and can only happen in a very rare case where an incompatible broker comes up while a write is inflight to ZK to finalize feature version upgrade.
Tooling support
We shall introduce a CLI tool backed by a new admin command type called kafka.admin.FeatureCommand
. The implementation will be inspired by the various command classes written in Scala that already enable us to carry out things such as CreateTopics
, DeleteTopics
, AlterConfigs
etc. from CLI. The new FeatureCommand
will be used by the cluster operator (i.e. a human), and willenable us to do the following:
Read cluster-wide finalized feature versions from a broker or a controller via it’s
ApiKeys.API_VERSIONS
API.Add/update cluster-wide finalized feature versions by exercising the newly introduced
ApiKeys.UPDATE_FEATURES A
PI on a controller.- Delete cluster-wide finalized features by exercising the newly introduced
ApiKeys.DELETE_FEATURES
API on a controller.
We shall introduce 3 new APIs in the Admin interface, which enables us to read the feature versions and finalize feature version upgrades. Below is Java-ish pseudocode for the same.
