Gary Russell commented on KAFKA-7016: ------------------------------------- +1 - it's a total pain to have to do a text search to figure out where an exception occurred. Why is it taking so long to get this fixed? > Reconsider the "avoid the expensive and useless stack trace for api > exceptions" practice > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-7016 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7016 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Martin Vysny > Priority: Major > > I am trying to write a Kafka Consumer; upon running it only prints out: > {\{ org.apache.kafka.common.errors.InvalidGroupIdException: The configured > groupId is invalid}} > Note that the stack trace is missing, so that I have no information which > part of my code is bad and need fixing; I also have no information which > Kafka Client method has been called. Upon closer examination I found this in > ApiException: > > {{/* avoid the expensive and useless stack trace for api exceptions */}} > {{@Override}} > {{public Throwable fillInStackTrace() {}} > \{{ return this;}} > {{}}} > > I think it is a bad practice to hide all useful debugging info and trade it > for dubious performance gains. Exceptions are for exceptional code flow which > are allowed to be slow. > > This applies to kafka-clients 1.1.0 -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
