Summary: Consider inter-broker authentication error handling Key: KAFKA-12355 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12355 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Jason Gustafson Currently authentication errors between brokers are generally considered retriable. The broker will log an error, but continue trying to reach the other broker. This could be improved. For example, authentication errors (specifically from the broker to controller in KIP-500) should probably be considered fatal during some window during initialization. This makes it easy for users to detect problems quickly. On the other hand, if a broker has been running for some time, we probably do not want to fail it on the first authentication failure. If a user had added a misconfigured controller to the cluster, it could end up taking down the whole cluster through authentication failures. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
