-----------------------------------
Summary: Randomize backoff on the clients for metadata requests
Key: KAFKA-902
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-902
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: replication
Affects Versions: 0.8
Reporter: Neha Narkhede
Assignee: Neha Narkhede
Priority: Critical
If a Kafka broker dies and there are a large number of clients talking to the
Kafka cluster, each of the clients can end up shooting metadata requests at
around the same time. It is better to randomize the backoff on the clients so
the metadata requests are more evenly spread out
