> Project: Kafka

> [During a review of the new
> fetcher|https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/14406#discussion_r1333393941],
> [~junrao] found what appears to be an opportunity for optimization.
> When a fetch response receives an error about partition leadership, fencing,
> etc. a metadata refresh is triggered. However, it takes time for that refresh
> to occur, and in the interim, it appears that the consumer will blindly
> attempt to fetch data for the partition again, in kind of a "definition of
> insanity" type of way. Ideally, the consumer would have a way to temporarily
> ignore those partitions, in a way somewhat like the "pausing" approach so
> that they are skipped until the metadata refresh response is fully processed.
> This affects both the existing KafkaConsumer and the new
> PrototypeAsyncConsumer.
