Rajini Sivaram commented on KAFKA-3540:
---------------------------------------
I have opened
[KIP-102|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-102+-+Add+close+with+timeout+for+consumers]
to add a close method to Consumer with timeout similar to Producer.
> KafkaConsumer.close() may block indefinitely
> --------------------------------------------

> 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
