---------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Kirk True)
> Aggressively expire unused client connections
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-16149
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-16149
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients, consumer, producer
> Reporter: Kirk True
> Priority: Major
>
> The goal is to minimize the number of connections from the client to the
> brokers.
> On the Java client, there are potentially two types of network connections to
> brokers:
> # Connections for metadata requests
> # Connections for fetch, produce, etc. requests
> The idea is to apply a much shorter idle time to client connections that have
> _only_ served metadata (type 1 above) so that they become candidates for
> expiration more quickly.
> Alternatively (or additionally), a change to the way metadata requests are
> routed could be made to reduce the number of connections.
