Boyang Chen commented on KAFKA-9274:
------------------------------------
Thanks for the summary John. I think what we particularly need is case #1,
which is the graceful handling of timeout. For initPid request specifically,
seems we need to do an infinite while-loop to iterate through all tasks until
all of them are initialized.
> Gracefully handle timeout exceptions on Kafka Streams
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-9274
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9274
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: streams
> Reporter: Boyang Chen
> Priority: Major
>
> Right now streams don't treat timeout exception as retriable in general by
> throwing it to the application level. If not handled by the user, this would
> kill the stream thread unfortunately.
> In fact, timeouts happen mostly due to network issue or server side
> unavailability. Hard failure on client seems to be an over-kill.
> We would like to discuss what's the best practice to handle timeout
> exceptions on Streams. The current state is still brainstorming and
> consolidate all the cases that contain timeout exception within this ticket.
