Robert Metzger commented on FLINK-4439:
---------------------------------------
In my opinion, the logging is pretty good.
There's a log message at WARN level:
{code}
2016-08-21 15:22:30 WARN FlinkKafkaConsumerBase:290 - Error communicating with
broker inexistentKafkHost:9092 to find partitions for [testTopic].class
java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException. Message: null
{code}
and the stack trace is at debug level.
I'm not sure if failing fast is a good solution: Maybe its just a temporary
issue with the broker, or the client can not contact the broker.

> In the above stackrace it is hard to figure out that the actual servers
> provided as a config cannot be resolved to a valid ip address. Moreover the
> flink kafka consumer will try all of those servers one by one and failing to
> get partition information.
> The suggested improvement is to fail fast and announce the user that the
> servers provided in the 'boostrap.servers' config are invalid. If at least
> one server is valid then the exception should not be thrown.
