Hi Kafka Team, I have made a new Kafka Improvement Proposal. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-53+-+Add+custom+policies+for+reconnect+attempts+to+NetworkdClient
This is my first proposal so I don't know if I have given enough information. Also I have already proposed an implementation : https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/1179 Thanks -- Florian HUSSONNOIS
