• With new HDI versions 4.0, 5.0, and 5.1 we need to improve ARM templates and PowerShell scripts.

If Kafka is configured for IP advertising as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/hdinsight/kafka/apache-kafka-connect-vpn-gateway#configure-kafka-for-ip-advertising "

rebalance script stops working. Logs show the following error:

"2019-04-05 11:15:10,908 - rebalance_rackaware.py [11028] main - INFO - Checking if all brokers are up.
2019-04-05 11:15:10,908 - rebalance_rackaware.py [11028] main - ERROR - VM 0 with FQDN: wn0-pro-ka has no brokers assigned. Ensure that all brokers are up! It is not recommended to perform replica rebalance when brokers are down.
2019-04-05 11:15:10,908 - rebalance_rackaware.py [11028] main - INFO - No need to rebalance. Current Kafka replica assignment has High Availability OR minimum requirements for rebalance not met. Check logs at /var/log/kafka/rebalance_log for more info."

Looks like the script relies on host names returned by zookeeper. Check this code:
'''
def get_brokerhost_info(zookeeper_client):
logger.info("Associating brokers to hosts...")
zk_brokers_ids = zookeeper_client.get_children(BROKERS_ID_PATH)
brokers_info = {}
for zk_broker_id in zk_brokers_ids:
zk_broker_id_data, stat = zookeeper_client.get('{0}/{1}'.format(BROKERS_ID_PATH, zk_broker_id))
zk_broker_info = json.loads(zk_broker_id_data)
zk_broker_host = zk_broker_info['host'].split('.')[0]
brokers_info[zk_broker_host] = zk_broker_id
return brokers_info

This breaks the script:
[email protected]:~$ /usr/hdp/current/kafka-broker/bin/zookeeper-shell.sh zk0-....:2181 <<< "get /brokers/ids/1004"
Connecting to zk0-....:2181

Do you have any chance to fix this issue so that script can handle Kafka is configured for IP advertising as well? Thanks

I'm referencing the -throttle parameter of kafka-reassign-partitions.sh as documented here.

There should be a way to pass in a throttle parameter so that it's possible to limit the impact these data-intensive operations will have on users.

The other key step will be to remove the throttle after rebalancing. Simply ensuring verification once the rebalancing has completed should remove the throttle automatically.

I see the kafka directory in the HDP folder but there is no service definition in AMBARI. What am I missing here?
