-------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
> Proactively discover alive brokers from bootstrap server lists when all nodes
> are down
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-13653
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13653
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0
> Reporter: Luke Chen
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, client metadata update has 2 situations:
> # partition leader change
> # metadata expired (default 5 mins)
> But sometimes, we will start the client and the brokers at the same time. The
> client might discover only partial of the brokers at first. And when the
> discovered brokers down accidentally within 5 mins (before metadata expired),
> there would be no chance to update the metadata and all cluster is down.
> Ex:
> 1. brokerA is up
> 2. producer is up, discovered brokerA, update its metadata
> 3. brokerB, brokerC are up (but producer doesn't know, and leader imbalance
> check is not expired (5 mins default))
> 4. producer keeps producing data without error
> 5. brokerA down, let's say, in 3 mins after producer started
> 6. Now, all cluster won't work even though brokerB and brokerC are up
>
> We should proactively discover active brokers when there are no nodes to
> connect via the bootstrap server config. So, in the above example, if the
> bootstrap.server is set to "brokerA_IP,brokerB_IP,brokerC_IP", then we should
> be able to discover the brokerB and brokerC after step 6.
