Kafka topic not ready after increasing the number of partitions

[themkarimi]

Hi,

I have increased the number of partitions of my kafka topic but after applying the new configuration, the topic status is stated " No Ready" instead an autogenerated topic with the pervious configuration is created and is working. my kafka cluster consists of 5 nodes and 3 zookeepers. does anyone have idea about this?
the resources that I am talking about is kafkatopics.kafka.strimzi.io.
kafka-tp.log

I think you will need to share more information. The Topic operator logs ideally on the debug level, the resources you are talking about etc.

Thanks for your reply. I have added the a snippet of logs since they are too many stuff there. I get alot of these messages for the topics that are faulty:
KafkaTopic is incompatible with the topic metadata. The topic metadata will be treated as canonical.

@tombentley Any ideas?

[themkarimi]

for more information, this is the state of my topics!

[themkarimi]

The problem was fixed by adding generation: 2 to the metadata portion of my topic kubernetes manifest. please update your documentation on examples/topic.

[scholzj]

The generation is managed by Kubernetes when you edit the custom resource. It might be just a coincidence that it helped in your case.

that's weird! maybe it is not totally fixed I need to investigate more, at least those logs are not repeated anymore!
