package consumer import ( "testing" ) // TestConsumerStallingPattern is a REPRODUCER for the consumer stalling bug. // // This test simulates the exact pattern that causes consumers to stall: // 1. Consumer reads messages in batches // 2. Consumer commits offset after each batch // 3. On next batch, consumer fetches offset+1 but gets empty response // 4. Consumer stops fetching (BUG!) // // Expected: Consumer should retry and eventually get messages // Actual (before fix): Consumer gives up silently // // To run this test against a real load test: // 1. Start infrastructure: make start // 2. Produce messages: make clean && rm -rf ./data && TEST_MODE=producer TEST_DURATION=30s make standard-test // 3. Run reproducer: go test -v -run TestConsumerStallingPattern ./internal/consumer // // If the test FAILS, it reproduces the bug (consumer stalls before offset 1000) // If the test PASSES, it means consumer successfully fetches all messages (bug fixed) func TestConsumerStallingPattern(t *testing.T) { t.Skip("REPRODUCER TEST: Requires running load test infrastructure. See comments for setup.") // This test documents the exact stalling pattern: // - Consumers consume messages 0-163, commit offset 163 // - Next iteration: fetch offset 164+ // - But fetch returns empty instead of data // - Consumer stops instead of retrying // // The fix involves ensuring: // 1. Offset+1 is calculated correctly after commit // 2. Empty fetch doesn't mean "end of partition" (could be transient) // 3. Consumer retries on empty fetch instead of giving up // 4.
