The instance we saw was an authorization failure for groups, but since I was fixing handling of all responses, I used `AuthorizationException` in the check since we want to ensure we backoff for topic authorization exceptions too. We already backoff for `RetriableException` and I haven't changed that behaviour, this PR addresses exceptions that are not subclasses of `RetriableException`. Perhaps just updating `AuthorizationException` as is currently done in the PR is sufficient? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
