Summary: Fix flaky system test `TransactionsTest.test_transactions`
Key: KAFKA-9802
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9802
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Jason Gustafson
Assignee: Jason Gustafson
Found when investigating a test failure in
`kafkatest.tests.core.transactions_test.TransactionsTest.test_transactions`.
The failure was caused by an unexpected transaction timeout. Looking into the
logs, I found that the timeout was due to a Produce request which took just
over 10s to complete. The test case that failed involved a hard kill of the
broker, so it is certainly possible for some produce requests to reach up to
the request timeout.
The problem in this case is that `request.timeout.ms` was set to 30s while the
`transaction.timeout.ms` was set to only 10s. There is no benefit to allowing a
larger request timeout since the coordinator is just going to abort the
transaction. So we should fix this test case to set these timeouts
consistently. It might also be worth logging a warning to the user when the
request timeout is larger than the transaction timeout.
