Victoria Bialas updated KAFKA-12159: ------------------------------------ Description: *BLUF:* The kafka-console-producer should return its prompt after outputting an error message (if it is still running, which in most cases, it is). Current behaviour is it doesn't return a prompt, and hitting return at that point shuts it down. *DETAIL AND EXAMPLE:* The console producer utility behaves in a less than optimal way when you get an error. It doesn’t return the producer prompt even though the producer is still running and accessible. If you hit return after the error, it shuts down the producer, forcing you to restart it when in fact that wasn’t necessary. This makes it confusing to demo to users in Docs how to test producers and consumers in scenarios where an error is generated. (I am adding a tip o write around this which will be published soon. It will be at the end of step 7 in [Demo: Enabling Schema Validation on a Topic at the Command Line|http://example.com/]. Here is an example from Confluent Platform. The scenario has you try to send a message with schema validation on (which will fail due to the message format), then disable schema validation and resend the message or another in a similar format, which should then succeed.
