If I understand the problem we are fixing is a connection storm where when a new broker comes online it is overwhelmed with connections.
In general we try hard to avoid plugins where possible. Maybe instead of adding another plugin interface we could just directly solve this problem by doing some randomization in the backoff to space out the reconnections? This seems like it would be good for anyone with a large client environment? -Jay On Mon, Apr 4, 2016 at 12:54 PM, Florian Hussonnois <fhussonn...@gmail.com> wrote: > 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 >
