Hi All, I saw an issue today wherein the producers (new producers) started to fail with org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Failed to update metadata after 60000 ms.
This issue happened when we took down one of the 6 brokers (running version 0.8.2.1) for planned maintenance (graceful shutdown). This broker happens to be the last one in the list of 3 brokers that are part of bootstrap.servers. As per my understanding, the producers should have used the other two brokers in the bootstrap.servers list for metadata calls. But this did not happen. Is there any producer property that could have caused this? Any way to figure out which broker is being used by producers for metadata calls? Thanks, Kris
