Hi All, I wrote a short KIP about avoiding out-of-sync or offline partitions when follower fetch requests are not processed in time by the leader replica. KIP-501 is located at https://s.apache.org/jhbpn
Please take a look, I would like to hear your feedback and suggestions. JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8733 Thanks, Satish.
