Summary: New Consumer should not retry indefinitely if no broker is available Key: KAFKA-2998 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2998 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: clients Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0 Reporter: Florian Hussonnois Priority: Minor If no broker from bootstrap.servers is available consumer retries indefinitely with debug log message : DEBUG 17:16:13 Give up sending metadata request since no node is available DEBUG 17:16:13 Initialize connection to node -1 for sending metadata request DEBUG 17:16:13 Initiating connection to node -1 at localhost:9091. At least, an ERROR message should be log after a number of retries. In addition, maybe the consumer should fail in a such case ? This behavior could be set by a configuration property ? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
