Kafka Cluster : Zookeeper nodes show different topic configuration information

Question

I have a kafka cluster with 5 zookeeper nodes and 6 broker nodes.

• Kafka version: 2.4.0
• Zookeeper version: 3.5.6

I recently changed the partition count on a topic from 12 to 36. Now that I check my zookeeper nodes, the nodes show different topic configurations.

On running ls /brokers/topics/<my-topic>/partitions,

• zookeeper 1,4 & 5 list 36 partitions
• zookeeper 2 & 3 list 12 partitions

When I describe the topic using ./kafka-topics.sh, I get 36 partitions.

Somehow the 2 zookeeper nodes(2&3) have stale information. I tried restarting the zookeeper nodes 2 & 3 but that did not help.

Any help in solving the issue is highly appreciated.
