----------------------------------
Summary: Improve handling of authorization failure during metadata
refresh
Key: KAFKA-2691
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2691
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: security
Reporter: Ismael Juma
Fix For: 0.9.0.0
There are two problems, one more severe than the other:
1. The consumer blocks indefinitely if there is non-transient authorization
failure during metadata refresh due to KAFKA-2391
2. We get a TimeoutException instead of an AuthorizationException in the
producer for the same case
If the fix for KAFKA-2391 is to add a timeout, then we will have issue `2` in
both producer and consumer.
