Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-1660:
----------------------------------
Yeah I'm not proposing calling thread.stop(), we would stop the thread by
sending it a message somehow to stop processing and then it exists without
waiting for all messages to be sent. Basically the same way we implement
close() without a timeout (which also doesn't call thread.stop).
> Ability to call close() with a timeout on the Java Kafka Producer.

> h6. Workaround
> Currently, it is possible to ensure that {{close}} will return quickly by
> first doing a {{future.get(timeout)}} on the last future produced on each
> partition, but this means that the user has to define the partitions up front
> at the time of {{send}} and track the returned {{future}}'s
