Shikhar Bhushan created KAFKA-4042: -------------------------------------- Summary: Missing error handling in Worker.startConnector() can cause Herder thread to die Key: KAFKA-4042 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4042 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Shikhar Bhushan Assignee: Shikhar Bhushan
While errors in {{WorkerConnector}} are handled using the {{statusListener.onFailure()}} callback, before the {{WorkerConnector}} is created in {{Worker.startConnector()}} there can be exceptions because of e.g. a bad class name and these are currently not handled, causing the {{Herder}} thread to die.
