-----------------------------------
Summary: Bug prone response from producer.send(ProducerRecord,
Callback) if Kafka broker is not running
Key: KAFKA-7412
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7412
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: producer
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Michal Turek
Attachments: metadata_when_kafka_is_stopped.png
Hi there, I have probably found a bug in Java Kafka producer client.
Scenario & current behavior:
- Start Kafka broker, single instance.
- Start application that produces messages to Kafka.
- Let the application to load partitions for a topic to warm up the producer,
e.g. send a message to Kafka. I'm not sure if this is necessary step, but our
code does it.
- Gracefully stop the Kafka broker.
- Application logs now contains "org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient:
[Producer clientId=...] Connection to node 0 could not be established. Broker
may not be available." so the client is aware about the Kafka unavailability.
- Trigger the producer to send a message using
KafkaProducer.send(ProducerRecord, Callback) method.
- The callback that notifies business code receives non-null RecordMetadata and
null Exception after request.timeout.ms. The metadata contains offset -1 which
is value of ProduceResponse.INVALID_OFFSET.
Expected behavior:
- If the Kafka is not running and the message is not appended to the log, the
callback should contain null RecordMetadata and non-null Exception. At least I
subjectively understand the Javadoc this way, "exception on production error"
in simple words.
- Developer that is not aware of this behavior and that doesn't test for offset
-1, may consider the message as successfully send and properly acked by the
broker.
Known workaround
- Together with checking for non-null exception in the callback, add another
condition for ProduceResponse.INVALID_OFFSET.
Used setup
- Latest Kafka 2.0.0 for both broker and Java client.
- Originally found with broker 0.11.0.1 and client 2.0.0.
- Code is analogy of the one in Javadoc of KafkaProducer.send().
- Used producer configuration (others use defaults).

bootstrap.servers = "localhost:9092"
client.id = "..."
acks = "all"
retries = 1
linger.ms = "20"
compression.type = "lz4"
request.timeout.ms = 5000 # The same behavior is with default, this is to
speed up the tests
