Hurshal Patel created KAFKA-2616: ------------------------------------ Summary: Improve Kakfa client exceptions Key: KAFKA-2616 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2616 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: clients Affects Versions: 0.8.2.1 Reporter: Hurshal Patel Priority: Minor
Any sort of network failure results in a {{java.nio.ClosedChannelException}} which is bubbled up from {{kafka.network.BlockingChannel}}. Displaying such an exception to a user with little knowledge about Kafka can be more confusing than informative. A better user experience for the Kafka consumer would be to throw a more appropriately named exception when a {{ClosedChannelException}} is encountered. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
