Chia-Ping Tsai commented on KAFKA-18440:
----------------------------------------
I see no compelling reason to backport this to active branches. As I mentioned,
the use case is infrequent, and therefore it should be acceptable to continue
throwing a timeout exception.
[~yangpoan] if you are on the same page, please close this jira and update the
fix version.

> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Chia-Ping Tsai

>
> Admin use DescribeClusterRequest to build metadata when using bootstrap
> controllers, and controller APIs may return ClusterAuthorizationException
> when users have no "ALTER" permission (see
> https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/14306#discussion_r1312367762).
> However, admin does not convert the authorized exception to fatal exception
> (https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/admin/internals/AdminMetadataManager.java#L276),
> so it keeps sending the request to controller until timeout.
