Eric Bowman updated KAFKA-3011:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
Because of this loop in ConsumerNetworkClient:

{code:java}
    public void awaitMetadataUpdate() {
        int version = this.metadata.requestUpdate();
        do {
            poll(Long.MAX_VALUE);
        } while (this.metadata.version() == version);
    }
{code}

...if Kafka is not reachable (perhaps not running, or other network issues, 
unclear), then KafkaConsumer.poll(0) will block until it's available.

I suspect that better behavior would be an exception
