-------------------------------------------
Summary: Improve documentation of max.task.idle.ms (kafka-streams)
Key: KAFKA-12360
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12360
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: docs, streams
Reporter: Domenico Delle Side
_max.task.idle.ms_ is an handy way to pause processing in a *_kafka-streams_*
application. This is very useful when you need to join two topics that are out
of sync, i.e when data in a topic may be produced _before_ you receive join
information in the other topic.
In the documentation, however, it is not specified that the value of
_max.task.idle.ms_ *must* be lower than _max.poll.intervall.ms_, otherwise
you'll incur into an endless rebalancing problem.
I think it is better to clearly state this in the documentation.
