Jason Rosenberg created KAFKA-623: ------------------------------------- Summary: It should be possible to re-create KafkaStreams after an exception, without recreating ConsumerConnector Key: KAFKA-623 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-623 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Jason Rosenberg
This issue came out of a discussion on the user mailing list (not something I experienced directly). Bob Cotton reported: "During the implementation of a custom Encoder/Decoder we noticed that should the Decoder throw an exception, the KafkaStream that it is in use becomes invalid. Searching the mailing list indicates that the only way to recover from an invalid stream is to shutdown the whole high-level consumer and restart. Is there a better way to recover from this? Thanks for the responsiveness on the mailing list." ...... And then Neha responded: "This is a bug. Ideally, we should allow restarting the consumer streams when they encounter an error. Can you file a JIRA ? Thanks, Neha" Jason -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
