> connection leak when partition discovery is disabled and open throws exception
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-10774
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10774
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Kafka Connector
> Affects Versions: 1.4.2, 1.5.5, 1.6.2
> Reporter: Steven Zhen Wu
> Assignee: Steven Zhen Wu
> Priority: Major
>
> Here is the scenario to reproduce the issue
> * partition discovery is disabled
> * open method throws an exception (e.g. when broker SSL authorization denies
> request)
> In this scenario, run method won't be executed. As a result,
> _partitionDiscoverer.close()_ won't be called. that caused the connection
> leak, because KafkaConsumer is initialized but not closed. That has caused
> outage that brought down our Kafka cluster, when a high-parallelism job got
> into a restart/failure loop.
