Hey Mayuresh,
I get that you want to provide a more specific error message to user. Then
would it be more useful to have a KIP that allows custom error message to
be returned to client together with the exception in the response? For
example, broker can include in the response PolicyViolationException("key
can not be null for non-compact topic ${topic}") and client can print this
error message in the log. My concern with current KIP that it is not very
scalable to always have a KIP and class for every new error we may see in
the future. The list of error classes, and the errors that need to be
caught and handled by the client code, will increase overtime and become
harder to maintain.
Thanks,
Dong
