Tom Bentley commented on KAFKA-15459:
-------------------------------------
[~jolshan] thanks for the explanation. Is there somewhere which elaborates on
part 2?
If error responses indicated their retriability (rather than it being inferred
from the error code, and thus embedded within client libraries) it would enable
better compatibility in the future for things like this, but I suspect your
part 2 plans are simpler than that.
> Convert coordinator retriable errors to a known producer response error.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15459
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Affects Versions: 3.6.0
> Reporter: Justine Olshan
> Assignee: Justine Olshan
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 3.6.0

>
> While reviewing [https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/14370] I added some of
> the documentation for the returned errors in the produce response as well.
> There were concerns about the new errors:
> * {@link Errors#COORDINATOR_LOAD_IN_PROGRESS}
> * {@link Errors#COORDINATOR_NOT_AVAILABLE}
> * {@link Errors#INVALID_TXN_STATE}
> * {@link Errors#INVALID_PRODUCER_ID_MAPPING}
> * {@link Errors#CONCURRENT_TRANSACTIONS}
> The coordinator load, not available, and concurrent transactions errors
> should be retriable.
> The invalid txn state and pid mapping errors should be abortable.
> This is how older java clients handle the errors, but it is unclear how other
> clients handle them. It seems that rdkafka (for example) treats the abortable
> errors as fatal instead. The coordinator errors are retriable but not the
> concurrent transactions error.
> It seems acceptable for the abortable errors to be fatal on some clients
> since the error is likely on a zombie producer or in a state that may be
> harder to recover from. However, for the retriable errors, we can return
> NOT_ENOUGH_REPLICAS which is a known retriable response. We can use the
> produce api's response string to specify the real cause of the error for
> debugging.
> There were trade-offs between making the older clients work and for clarity
> in errors. This seems to be the best compromise.
