----------------------------------------
Summary: Better handle timeouts in ListOffsets API
Key: KAFKA-14821
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14821
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: clients
Reporter: Dimitar Dimitrov
Assignee: Dimitar Dimitrov
The ListOffsets Admin API doesn't retry failed requests for partitions due to
timeouts or due to other types of retriable exceptions. This is a step back
compared to the Consumer offset APIs implemented in the fetcher as the latter
can do partial retries in such cases.
* The comparison is notable as some Kafka tools (e.g.
{{{}kafka-get-offsets{}}}) have moved from using the Consumer offset APIs to
using the ListOffsets Admin API.
One nice way to address that seems to be to migrate the ListOffsets API to use
the more modern AdminApiDriver mechanism. That should automatically provide the
capability to retry requests which responses are deemed retriable.
