----------------------------------
Summary: Timeout request might retry forever even if the user API
times out in AsyncConsumer
Key: KAFKA-15475
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15475
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: consumer
Reporter: Philip Nee
Assignee: Philip Nee
If the request timeout in the background thread, it will be completed with
TimeoutException, which is Retriable. In the TopicMetadataRequestManager and
possibly other managers, the request might continue to be retried forever.
There are two ways to fix this
# Pass a timer to the manager to remove the inflight requests when it is
expired.
# Pass the future to the application layer and continue to retry.
