I get this log from the controller process:

2021/04/23 14:19:38.925 WARN [HelixHelper] [grizzly-http-server-1] Idempotent or null ideal state update for resource brokerResource, skipping update.

It seems the action is redundant and Pinot already has a table defined, but then why does nothing show in the UI?

Using the REST API to list all tables in the cluster:

curl -X GET "<http://localhost:9000/tables>" -H "accept: application/json"

the server tells me there are no tables. The response is:

{
  "tables": []
}

Broker reports:

aught exception while processing transition from OFFLINE to ONLINE for table: HitExecutionView_REALTIME
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to find ideal state for table: HitExecutionView_REALTIME

Anyone familiar with this exception? cc @User

How did you start the cluster and what’s your VM size? If you used quick-start, then note that the Xmx there is very small and not enough for anything larger than the example quick start loads

I've noticed that the message popups in the cluster manager are not accurate. I've tried to create a table with a partition level of 3. My cluster have only 1 zookeeper and 1 broker instance, it should not be possible to create the table. I get some exceptions in the broker's logs but thats it. Nothing in the UI reports an error.

A similar issue when trying to modify a realtime table definition, I tried to change the kafka topic. The UI reports a successful change, I reload the segments, nothing happens. If I create another table from scratch with the new kafka topic, it works.
