Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-1660: ---------------------------------- Yeah I'm not proposing calling thread.stop(), we would stop the thread by sending it a message somehow to stop processing and then it exists without waiting for all messages to be sent. Basically the same way we implement close() without a timeout (which also doesn't call thread.stop). > Ability to call close() with a timeout on the Java Kafka Producer. > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1660 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1660 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: clients, producer > Affects Versions: 0.8.2.0 > Reporter: Andrew Stein > Assignee: Jun Rao > Fix For: 0.8.3 > > Attachments: KAFKA-1660.patch > > > I would like the ability to call {{close}} with a timeout on the Java > Client's KafkaProducer. > h6. Workaround > Currently, it is possible to ensure that {{close}} will return quickly by > first doing a {{future.get(timeout)}} on the last future produced on each > partition, but this means that the user has to define the partitions up front > at the time of {{send}} and track the returned {{future}}'s -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
