Hi all! I want to start a discussion thread about how we can handle client bootstrap failure due DNS lookup. This requires a bit of behavioral change, so a KIP is proposed and attached to this email. Let me know what you think!
*A small remark here*: *As the title of this KIP might sound familiar/similar to KIP-899, it is not the same.* *In Summary:* I want to propose a KIP to change the existing bootstrap (upon instantiation) strategy because it is reasonable to allow clients to retry *KIP: * https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-909%3A+Allow+Clients+to+Rebootstrap+Upon+Failed+DNS+Resolution Thanks!
