Tomas Benc commented on KAFKA-4189:
-----------------------------------
Yes, we're stuck on code, which Edoardo Comar described in comments. But we
will try to use wakeup() method, hope this helps.
> Consumer poll hangs forever if kafka is disabled
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-4189
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4189
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: clients, consumer
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0.1, 0.10.0.1
> Reporter: Tomas Benc
> Priority: Critical
>
> We develop web application, where client sends REST request and our
> application downloads messages from Kafka and sends those messages back to
> client. In our web application we use "New Consumer API" (not High Level nor
> Simple Consumer API).
> Problem occurs in case of disabling Kafka and web application is running on.
> Application receives request and tries to poll messages from Kafka.
> Processing is on that line blocked until Kafka is enabled.
> ConsumerRecords<byte[], byte[]> records = consumer.poll(1000);
> Timeout parameter of the poll method has no influence in such case. I expect
> poll method could throw some Exception describing about connection issues.
