### Changes - Add new Exception class `PotentialCauseException`. - All `org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException` in `KafkaProducer` has `PotentialCauseException` as root cause if it cannot catch any exception. ### Describe `TimeoutException` can be thrown for various reasons. However, it is often difficult to identify the root cause, Because there are so many potential factors that can lead to a `TimeoutException`. For example: 1. The `ProducerClient` might be busy, so it may not be able to send the request in time. As a result, some batches may expire, leading to a `TimeoutException`. 2. The `broker` might be unavailable due to network issues or internal failures. 3. A request may be in flight, and although the broker successfully handles and responds to it, the response might arrive slightly late. As shown above, there are many possible causes. However, the developer using `TimeoutException` in `KafkaProducer` likely already knows which specific reasons could cause it in that context. Therefore, I think it would be helpful to include a `PotentialCauseException` that reflects the likely reason, based on the developer’s knowledge. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
