> Improve handling of authorization failure during metadata refresh
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-2691
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2691
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: security
> Reporter: Ismael Juma
> Assignee: Jason Gustafson
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.9.0.0
>
>
> There are two problems, one more severe than the other:
> 1. The consumer blocks indefinitely if there is non-transient authorization
> failure during metadata refresh due to KAFKA-2391
> 2. We get a TimeoutException instead of an AuthorizationException in the
> producer for the same case
> If the fix for KAFKA-2391 is to add a timeout, then we will have issue `2` in
> both producer and consumer.
