Hi folks, I've created a PIP to do some rework on lookup timeouts and retries. We've had major client incidents recently due to a client with many many producers, which triggered a herding effect on broker restarts. This PIP aims to alleviate some of the issues we saw.
In summary, we want to retry (with backoff and jitter) on timeout and on TooManyRequests. Kicking the error back to the client just results in the clients restarting and trying again. Please take a look. https://github.com/apache/pulsar/wiki/PIP-91:-Separate-lookup-timeout-from-operation-timeout Cheers, Ivan
