[~ssbiox] is this still on your radar? Did you find any issues with this
approach? Did you adopt an alternative approach?
> KIP-271: Add NetworkClient redirector
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-6669
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6669
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients
> Reporter: Sergey Korytnikov
> Priority: Major
>
> "KIP-271 Add NetworkClient redirector" purposes the change to accommodate
> environments without proper DNS support, when KafkaProducer or KafkaConsumer
> tries to connect to Kafka brokers that are inside another network.
> Currently, Kafka client connection fails with
> "[java.io|http://java.io/].IOException: Can't resolve address" after Kafka
> cluster metadata is updated with internal DNS names of brokers, unreachable
> by Client. The example of such configuration might be a Java Client calling
> Kafka Cluster from outside of Kubernetes cluster or AWS network.
> The KIP improves NetworkClient to redirect the call to alternative network
> address and provides developers with additional Configurable interface to
> specify redirection rules.
