Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-3549: ------------------------------------ Interesting. It should have been obvious given that we were leaking producers and zkclients until recently. ;) > Close consumers instantiated in consumer tests > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-3549 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3549 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Grant Henke > Assignee: Grant Henke > > Close consumers instantiated in consumer tests. Since these consumers often > use the default group.id of "", they could cause transient failures like > those seen in KAFKA-3117 and KAFKA-2933. I have not been able to prove that > this change will fix those failures, but closing the consumers is a good > practice regardless. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
