Ramkishan updated KAFKA-8912:
-----------------------------
Affects Version/s: 2.3.0
> TimeoutException cause is insufficiently documented for the KafkaProducer
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-8912
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8912
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation, producer
> Affects Versions: 1.0.1, 2.3.0
> Reporter: Ramkishan
> Priority: Major
>
> The javadocs of the org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.KafkaProducer class has
> partially articulated description for the TimeoutException, wherever
> applicable.
> The document reads -
> "{{[TimeoutException|https://kafka.apache.org/23/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/common/errors/TimeoutException.html]}}
> - If the time taken for fetching metadata or allocating memory for the
> record has surpassed {{max.block.ms}}."
> While we are aware that this exception can also be thrown if the RTM occurs
> when the message is on the accumulator and the batch expires. The current
> description is misleading the developers who try to optimize the producer
> config and if they face this issue
> [https://kafka.apache.org/23/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/common/errors/TimeoutException.html]
