Topic stopped processing messages

Hello,

I just had a weird problem in one of my topics.

It accepted messages from producers but consumers couldn't see those
messages. The producers didn't get any errors when sending messages to
the topic, but even my test-console-consumer didn't see anything in the
topic.
Also checking the topic with the kafka-consumer-groups.sh using the
option of --describe returned a TimeoutException on failing to get
offsets in 30001ms.

My quick and dirty solution was to delete the topic and with
auto-creation enabled is was recreated and messages started showing up
to consumersand --describe working again.

As I have no idea where to start to find the issue of this, and then of
course open an issue on the website, I'd need some hints on what to look
for....

Thank you

Sebastian
