Geoff Anderson updated KAFKA-2861:
----------------------------------
Description:
There may be errors going on under the hood that validation steps do not
detect, but which are logged at the ERROR level by brokers or clients. We are
more likely to catch subtle issues if we pattern match the server log for ERROR
as part of validation, and fail the test in this case.
For example, in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2813, the error is
transient, so our test may pass; however, we still want this issue to be
visible.
To avoid spurious failures, we would probably want to be able to have a
whitelist of acceptable errors.
