Apparently, Kafka ignores SIGTERM sign if it’s trying to connect to Zookeeper and can’t reach it.
I can end it normally with kill –s TERM $PID under normal operation, but not when it’s trying to reconnect. I know it’s a small issue that will almost never happen, but it would be nice if it could be fixed. I’m using CENTOS 6.8 with kafka.2.12-0.11.0.0 and OpenJDK 1.8 (0.51). Andre
