Hi everyone, Is there any concerns to have a long reconnect.backoff.ms for new java Kafka producer (0.8.2.0/0.8.2.1)?
Assuming we have bootstrap.servers=host1:port1,host2:port2,host3:port3 and host1 is *down* in the very beginning. If a newly created Kafka producer decide to choose host1 as first node to connect for metadata update, then that producer will keep trying on host1 *only* as default tcp timeout is surely longer than default value of reconnect.backoff.ms, which is 10 ms. I am thinking to have reconnect.backoff.ms longer than N * T where N is the number of nodes in bootstrap.servers and T is the default tcp timeout. Is there any concerns to have a long reconnect.backoff.ms like that? Any better solutions? Cheers, Steve
