----------------------------------------
[~ewencp], thanks for the explanation.
> Add a request timeout to NetworkClient
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-2120
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2120
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Jiangjie Qin
> Assignee: Mayuresh Gharat
>
> Currently NetworkClient does not have a timeout setting for requests. So if
> no response is received for a request due to reasons such as broker is down,
> the request will never be completed.
> Request timeout will also be used as implicit timeout for some methods such
> as KafkaProducer.flush() and kafkaProducer.close().
> KIP-19 is created for this public interface change.
