             Summary: Better consumer timeout exception handling 
                 Key: KAFKA-8311
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8311
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: consumer, streams
            Reporter: Boyang Chen


When stream application crashed due to underlying consumer commit timeout, we 
have seen following gaps:

1. The current timeout exception doesn't provide meaningful tuning 
instructions. We should augment the error message to let user change 
`default.api.timeout.ms` in order to tolerate longer reaction time.
2. Currently we have 3 different types of consumers on KStream: 
thread-consumer, global-consumer and restore-consumer. Although we don't plan 
to explicitly handle this consumer timeout on stream level, we could wrap it 
with more meaningful message either on consumer or stream level to let user be 
aware which consumer is having trouble.
