Randall Hauch commented on KAFKA-6577:
--------------------------------------
There are actual several things compounding to cause the failure and make it
difficult to understand the problem.
First, the
{{tests/kafkatest/tests/connect/templates/connect_standalone.properties}} is
only adding in the broker's security configuration with the "producer." and
"consumer." prefixes, but is not adding them with no prefix. The worker uses
the AdminClient to connect to the broker to get the Kafka cluster ID and to
manage the three internal topics, and the AdminClient is configured via
top-level properties. Because the SASL test requires the clients all connect
using SASL, the lack of broker security configs means the AdminClient was
attempting and failing to connect to the broker. This is corrected by adding
the broker's security configuration to the Connect worker configuration file at
the top-level. (This was already being done in the
{{connect_distributed.properties}} file.)
Second, the default {{request.timeout.ms}} for the AdminClient (and the other
clients) is 120 seconds, so the AdminClient was retrying for 120 seconds before
it would give up and thrown an error. However, the test was only waiting for 60
seconds before determining that the service failed to start. This can be
corrected by setting {{request.timeout.ms=10000}} in the Connect worker
configurations (both distributed and standalone).
Third, the Connect workers were recently changed to lookup the Kafka cluster ID
before it started the herder. This is unlike the older uses of the AdminClient
to find and manage the internal topics, where failure to connect was not
necessarily logged correctly but nevertheless still skipped over, relying upon
broker auto-topic creation to create the internal topics. (This may be why the
test did not fail prior to the recent change to always require a successful
AdminClient connection.) Although the worker never got this far in its startup
process, the fact that we missed such an error since the prior releases means
that failure to connect with the AdminClient was not being properly reported.
