Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-4493:
------------------------------------
This is sort of a duplicate of KAFKA-2512 although the solution there seems a
bit more limited than what is being suggested here.
> 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.
