--------------------------------------
Summary: Missing error handling in Worker.startConnector() can
cause Herder thread to die
Key: KAFKA-4042
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4042
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Shikhar Bhushan
Assignee: Shikhar Bhushan
While errors in {{WorkerConnector}} are handled using the
{{statusListener.onFailure()}} callback, before the {{WorkerConnector}} is
created in {{Worker.startConnector()}} there can be exceptions because of e.g.
a bad class name and these are currently not handled, causing the {{Herder}}
thread to die.
