>
> The idempotent producer fails fatally if the initial `InitProducerId` returns
> CLUSTER_AUTHORIZATION_FAILED. This makes the producer unusable until a new
> instance is constructed. For some applications, it is more convenient to keep
> the producer instance active and let the administrator fix the permission
> problem instead of going into a crash loop. Additionally, most applications
> will probably not be smart enough to reconstruct the producer instance, so if
> the application does not handle the error by failing, users will have to
> restart the application manually.
> I think it would be better to let the producer retry the `InitProducerId`
> request as long as the user keeps trying to use the producer.
