------------------------------------
Summary: Introduce bounded exponential backoff in clients
Key: KAFKA-9678
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9678
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: admin, consumer, producer
Reporter: Guozhang Wang
In all clients (consumer, producer, admin, and streams) we have retry
mechanisms with fixed backoff to handle transient connection issues with
brokers. However, with small backoff (many defaults to 100ms) we could send 10s
of requests per second to the broker, and if the connection issue is prolonged
it means a huge overhead.
We should consider introducing upper-bounded exponential backoff universally in
those clients to reduce the num of retry requests during the period of
connection partitioning.
