Kafka producer throw "TimeoutException: Batch Expired" when consumer begin to read data

[JF Chen]

I have a system keep sending data to kafka continuously, and a spark
streaming application reading these data from kafka every 5 minutes
However, I found the kafka producer throws "TimeoutException: Batch
Expired" error when sparking streaming begin to read the kafka every 5
minutes.
What's the reason for this? And how to solve this problem?
