Summary: Using kafka-console-producer with invalid broker list weirds to unexpected behavior Key: KAFKA-3638 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3638 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Jarek Jarcec Cecho I've messed the port when running console producer on my test cluster and instead of {{ConnectionRefused}} exception or something like that, I didn't get any immediate error. After I tried to produce some messages I got nothing and after a minute or so got {{ERROR}} about updating metadata: {code} [root@centos6 ~]# kafka-console-producer --broker-list localhost:666 --topic source asfasdf [2016-04-28 14:28:01,950] ERROR Error when sending message to topic source with key: null, value: 7 bytes with error: Failed to update metadata after 60000 ms. (org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.ErrorLoggingCallback) {code} Would it perhaps make sense to throw more accurate exception in this case? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
