--------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
> Connect put() and poll() retries not conforming to KIP-298
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-9314
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9314
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Reporter: Nigel Liang

> KIP-298 outlines the retry policy of Connect when errors are encountered. In
> particular, it proposes to retry on {{RetriableException}} on put() in
> SinkTask and poll() in SourceTask.
> However, the code does not reflect this change. For instance,
> WorkerSourceTask handles {{RetriableException}} thrown from {{poll()}} by
> entering into a tight retry loop without backoff. This has led to connectors
> having to workaround by simply not retrying and failing the task always.
> Users would need to manually restart the task to recover from even simple
> network glitches.
> AFAICT from reading code, the same is true for {{WorkerSinkTask}} when
> calling {{put()}}.
