------------------------------------------
Assignee: Manikumar Reddy
> KafkaConsumer.close() may block indefinitely
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-3540
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3540
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Oleg Zhurakousky
> Assignee: Manikumar Reddy
>
> KafkaConsumer API doc states
> {code}
> Close the consumer, waiting indefinitely for any needed cleanup. . . .
> {code}
> That is not acceptable as it creates an artificial deadlock which directly
> affects systems that rely on Kafka API essentially rendering them unavailable.
> Consider adding _close(timeout)_ method
