Guozhang Wang created KAFKA-9678: ------------------------------------ Summary: Introduce bounded exponential backoff in clients Key: KAFKA-9678 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9678 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: admin, consumer, producer Reporter: Guozhang Wang
In all clients (consumer, producer, admin, and streams) we have retry mechanisms with fixed backoff to handle transient connection issues with brokers. However, with small backoff (many defaults to 100ms) we could send 10s of requests per second to the broker, and if the connection issue is prolonged it means a huge overhead. We should consider introducing upper-bounded exponential backoff universally in those clients to reduce the num of retry requests during the period of connection partitioning. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
