Guozhang Wang commented on KAFKA-1035:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for the patch. One minor comment:
Could you modify the description of message-send-max-retries:
"The leader may be unavailable transiently, which can fail the sending of a
message. This property specifies the number of retries when such failures
occur"?
1. Brokers can fail receiving the message for multiple reasons, and being
unavailable transiently is just one of them.
2. This properties specifies the number of retires before the producer give up
and drop this message.
> Add message-send-max-retries and retry-backoff-ms options to console producer

> It's possible for console producer to give up too soon if it can't find a
> leader of a topic. Increasing message-send-max-retries would resolve this
> but. Console producer doesn't provide options to set
> message-send-max-retries and retry-backoff-ms.
