Hello! I would like to start the discussion thread on KIP-899: Allow clients to rebootstrap. This KIP proposes to allow Kafka clients to repeat the bootstrap process when fetching metadata if none of the known nodes are available. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-899%3A+Allow+clients+to+rebootstrap
A question right away: should we eventually change the default behavior or it can remain configurable "forever"? The latter is proposed in the KIP. Thank you! Ivan
