Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-2998:
------------------------------------
Sounds like a good plan.
> New Consumer should not retry indefinitely if no broker is available
> --------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: KAFKA-2998
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2998
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: clients
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0
> Reporter: Florian Hussonnois
> Assignee: Jason Gustafson
> Priority: Minor
>
> If no broker from bootstrap.servers is available consumer retries
> indefinitely with debug log message :
>
> DEBUG 17:16:13 Give up sending metadata request since no node is available
> DEBUG 17:16:13 Initialize connection to node -1 for sending metadata request
> DEBUG 17:16:13 Initiating connection to node -1 at localhost:9091.
> At least, an ERROR message should be log after a number of retries.
> In addition, maybe the consumer should fail in a such case ? This behavior
> could be set by a configuration property ?
