             Summary: Transactional producer cannot find coordinator when 
trying to abort transaction after error
                 Key: KAFKA-5427
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5427
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Jason Gustafson
            Assignee: Jason Gustafson
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 0.11.0.0


It can happen that we receive an abortable error while we are already aborting 
a transaction. In this case, we have an EndTxnRequest queued for sending when 
we transition to ABORTABLE_ERROR. It could be that we need to find the 
coordinator before sending this EndTxnRequest. The problem is that we will fail 
even the FindCoordinatorRequest because we are in an error state.  This causes 
the following endless loop:

A couple suggested improvements:

1. We should allow FindCoordinator requests regardless of the transaction state.
2. It is a bit confusing that we allow EndTxnRequest to be sent in both the 
ABORTABLE_ERROR and the ABORTING_TRANSACTION states. Perhaps we should only 
allow EndTxnRequest to be sent in ABORTING_TRANSACTION. If we hit an abortable 
error and we are already aborting, then we should just stay in 
ABORTING_TRANSACTION and perhaps log a warning.
