I would like to start discussing KIP-1339: Make KafkaConfigBackingStore read_write_total_timeout configurable
KIP: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-1339%3A+Make+KafkaConfigBackingStore+read_write_total_timeout+configurable In Kafka Connect, the KafkaConfigBackingStore class is responsible for persisting connector and task configurations in a Kafka topic. Currently, the timeout for synchronous write operations and then reading back from the configuration topic is hardcoded via the READ_WRITE_TOTAL_TIMEOUT_MS constant, set to 30,000 milliseconds (30 seconds). While 30 seconds is sufficient for many environments, this hardcoded limit can be problematic in some specific scenarios. There were earlier discussions (https://lists.apache.org/thread/flpm1qrm7cwj6fqr1j8c0p8sbqysgv34) on extending the timeout value. This KIP proposes making this timeout value a configurable parameter. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks and Regards Henry Cai
