[improve] [broker] Improve cache handling for partitioned topic metad…
…ata when doing lookup (apache#21063) Motivation: If we set `allowAutoTopicCreationType` to `PARTITIONED`, the flow of the create topic progress is like the below: 1. `Client-side`: Lookup topic to get partitioned topic metadata to create a producer. 1. `Broker-side`: Create partitioned topic metadata. 1. `Broker-side`: response `{"partitions":3}`. 1. `Client-side`: Create separate connections for each partition of the topic. 1. `Broker-side`: Receive 3 connect requests and create 3 partition-topics. In the `step 2` above, the flow of the progress is like the below: 1. Check the policy of topic auto-creation( the policy is `{allowAutoTopicCreationType=PARTITIONED, defaultNumPartitions=3}` ) 1. Check the partitioned topic metadata already exists. 1. Try to create the partitioned topic metadata if it does not exist. 1. If created failed by the partitioned topic metadata already exists( maybe another broker is also creating now), read partitioned topic metadata from the metadata store and respond to the client. There is a race condition that makes the client get non-partitioned metadata of the topic: | time | `broker-1` | `broker-2` | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | get policy: `PARTITIONED, 3` | get policy: `PARTITIONED, 3` | | 2 | check the partitioned topic metadata already exists | Check the partitioned topic metadata already exists | | 3 | Partitioned topic metadata does not exist, the metadata cache will cache an empty optional for the path | Partitioned topic metadata does not exist, the metadata cache will cache an empty optional for the path | | 4 | | succeed create the partitioned topic metadata | | 5 | Receive a ZK node changed event to invalidate the cache of the partitioned topic metadata | | 6 | Creating the metadata failed due to it already exists | | 7 | Read the partitioned topic metadata again | If `step-5` is executed later than `step-7`, `broker-1` will get an empty optional from the cache of the partitioned topic metadata and respond non-partitioned metadata to the client. **What thing would make the `step-5` is executed later than `step-7`?** Provide a scenario: Such as the issue that the PR apache#20303 fixed, it makes `zk operation` and `zk node changed notifications` executed in different threads: `main-thread of ZK client` and `metadata store thread`. Therefore, the mechanism of the lookup partitioned topic metadata is fragile and we need to optimize it. Modifications: Before reading the partitioned topic metadata again, refresh the cache first.
