Umesh Chaudhary commented on KAFKA-4564: ---------------------------------------- Hi [~guozhang], [~ewencp], I am thinking to create a KafkaProducer (using the properties wrapped in the StreamsConfig) inside the constructor of StreamTask class to verify whether user has configured the bootstrap listed correctly or not. For misconfigured bootstrap list, we can throw the appropriate exception here itself without proceeding further. Please suggest if that was the expectation form this JIRA and correct me if I am wrong here. > When the destination brokers are down or misconfigured in config, Streams > should fail fast > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-4564 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4564 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: streams > Reporter: Guozhang Wang > Assignee: Umesh Chaudhary > Labels: newbie > > Today if Kafka is down or users misconfigure the bootstrap list, Streams may > just hangs for a while without any error messages even with the log4j > enabled, which is quite confusing. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
