             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.
