Hello, I have a Spring Web Application using Kafka. I am using Apache Kafka Client 3.1.0 to connect to Kafka. I have noticed that if I give a wrong Kafka port to connect to, the client keeps on trying to connect to Kafka and at that time I am unable to call my application API. It returns 404.
So I have below questions: 1. While Kafka client trying to reconnect so frequently, my application is unable to serve any API requests. 2. How can I mitigate this? If Kafka client unable to connect to broker, try few times and then stop trying. P.S.: If I give correct port, then the application starts working fine. Best Regards Yash Bansal
