----------------------------------
Summary: Connections to Kafka brokers should be validated
Key: KAFKA-4493
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4493
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ismael Juma
There have been a few reports of Kafka clients throwing an OOM because they
read 4 bytes from the stream and then use that to allocate a ByteBuffer without
validating that they are using the right security protocol or even
communicating with a Kafka broker.
It would be good to perform some validation in order to show a useful error
message to the user instead of the OOM.
