Chi Hoang commented on KAFKA-3018:
----------------------------------
In this case, there are two problems:
- the send operation seems to hang because it waits for a valid metadata update
to return
- the message only shows up in the logs and is not clear
We could change the send operation to better handle the metadata update, and
fail faster if you insist on having the server be the arbitrator of whether a
topic name is valid.
> Kafka producer hangs on producer.close() call if the producer topic contains
> single quotes in the topic name

> Key: KAFKA-3018
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3018
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: producer
> Affects Versions: 0.8.2.0
> Reporter: kanav anand
> Assignee: Jun Rao
>
> While creating topics with quotes in the name throws a exception but if you
> try to close a producer configured with a topic name with quotes the producer
> hangs.
> It can be easily replicated and verified by setting topic.name for a producer
> with a string containing single quotes in it.
