ASF GitHub Bot commented on KAFKA-4631: --------------------------------------- GitHub user rajinisivaram opened a pull request: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/2622 KAFKA-4631: Request metadata in consumer if topic/partitions unavailable If leader node of one more more partitions in a consumer subscription are temporarily unavailable, request metadata refresh so that partitions skipped for assignment dont have to wait for metadata expiry before reassignment. Metadata refresh is also requested if a subscribe topic or assigned partition doesn't exist.

Sax > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.10.3.0 > > > By default, the consumer refreshes metadata every 5 minutes. In testing, it > can often happen that a topic is created at about the same time that the > consumer is started. In the worst case, creation finishes after the consumer > fetches metadata, and the test must wait 5 minutes for the consumer to > refresh metadata in order to discover the topic. To address this problem, > users can decrease the metadata refresh interval, but this means more > frequent refreshes even after all topics are known. An improvement would be > to internally let the consumer fetch metadata more frequently when the > consumer encounters unknown topics. Perhaps every 5-10 seconds would be > reasonable, for example. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
