Yu LIU edited comment on KAFKA-6446 at 1/29/18 9:59 AM: -------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I have a look at this and it appears that TRANSACTION_TIMEOUT_CONFIG is defined as the time to wait when *a producer tries to get the producer id from transaction coordinator by specifying transaction id*, more concretely it's for [InitProducerIdRequest|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/common/requests/InitProducerIdRequest.java]. But where we hang here is before InitProducerIdRequest, we need to find the transaction coordinator by sending a [FindCoordinatorRequest|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/common/requests/FindCoordinatorRequest.java], in this phase we didn't deal with timeout so it leads to the [Sender thread endless retrying to send FindCoordinatorRequest|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/producer/internals/Sender.java#L161-L167]. I think anyway the producer shoud not be stuck in initTransactions() when it can't connect to the kafka cluster ? We should define a new TIMEOUT for connecting to the cluster (FindCoordinatorRequest) or applying the TRANSACTION_TIMEOUT_CONFIG to it directly ? was (Author: pnpie): Hello, I have a look at this and it appears that TRANSACTION_TIMEOUT_CONFIG is defined as the time to wait when *a producer tries to get the producer id from transaction coordinator by specifying transaction id*, more concretely it's for [InitProducerIdRequest|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/common/requests/InitProducerIdRequest.java].
