Hi all,
I would like to start the voting process for *KIP-102 - Add close with timeout for consumers*: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-102+-+Add+close+with+timeout+for+consumers This KIP adds a new close method with a timeout for consumers similar to the close method in the producer. As described in the discussion thread <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kafka-dev/201612.mbox/%3ccag_+n9us5ohthwmyai9pz4s2j62fmils2ufj8oie9jpmyaf...@mail.gmail.com%3e>, the changes are only in the close code path and hence the impact is not too big. The existing close() method without a timeout will use a default timeout of 30 seconds. Thank you.... Regards, Rajini
