KAFKA-4366: KafkaStreams.close() blocks indefinitely Added `timeout` and `timeUnit` to `KafkaStreams.close(..)`. Now do close on a thread and `join` that thread with the provided `timeout`. Changed `state` in `KafkaStreams` to use an enum. Added system test to ensure we don't deadlock on close when an uncaught exception handler that calls `System.exit(..)` is used and there is also a shutdown hook that calls `KafkaStreams.close(...)` You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/dguy/kafka kafka-4366 Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/2097.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #2097 ---- commit 6dffa532ca0c065d2e67b812d82b3bdabe97b19d Author: Damian Guy <damian....@gmail.com> Date: 2016-11-03T18:46:33Z add timeout to KafkaStreams.close(..) ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
