Guozhang Wang commented on KAFKA-451: ------------------------------------- Moving to 0.9. > follower replica may need to backoff the fetching if leader is not ready yet > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-451 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-451 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core > Reporter: Jun Rao > Assignee: Prashanth Menon > Labels: optimization > Fix For: 0.9.0 > > Original Estimate: 48h > Remaining Estimate: 48h > > Currently, when a follower starts fetching from a new leader, it just keeps > sending fetch requests even if the requests fail because the leader is not > ready yet. We probably should let the follower backoff a bit in this case. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
