C0urante opened a new pull request #8973: URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/8973
[Jira](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10218) We added a `canReadConfigs` field to the `DistributedHerder` a while back that gets set to `false` if the herder fails to catch up to the end of the config topic, but never gets set to `true` again if catchup succeeds at a later point. This PR adds logic to reset it to `true` when it's safe to. A single unit test is tweaked to ensure that the herder doesn't keep unnecessarily trying to catch up to the end of the config topic during every tick. ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [ ] Verify design and implementation - [ ] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
