Hi Mayank, Thanks for the KIP!
Questions: 1. From the standpoint of the client, does it matter if the cluster is running in KRaft mode vs. Zookeeper? Will the behavior somehow be subtlety different given that metadata propagation is handled differently between the two? 2. Is there anything we need to do to handle the case where the new leader information appears after retries? Suppose the first two attempts to send a produce fail, in which case we hit the backoff logic. On the third attempt, the broker/node returns new leader information. Would the fourth attempt (with the new leader) still be performed without any delay? To be honest, I’m not sure that case is valid, but I would assume it would retry immediately, right?
