Sophie Blee-Goldman commented on KAFKA-10186:
---------------------------------------------
I was suggesting to throw a new exception, since KafkaException is generally
reserved for fatal errors. Note that this will probably require a KIP since
it's a public facing change.
[~nym3r0s] It seems like John is thinking of working on this, so I'll let him
answer. [~johnthotekat] if that's true then you should go ahead and assign the
ticket to yourself. Otherwise feel free to pick it up
> Aborting transaction with pending data should throw non-fatal exception

> Project: Kafka

> Priority: Major
> Labels: needs-kip, newbie, newbie++
>
> Currently if you try to abort a transaction with any pending (non-flushed)
> data, the send exception is set to
> {code:java}
> KafkaException("Failing batch since transaction was aborted"){code}
> This exception type is generally considered fatal, but this is a valid state
> to be in -- the point of throwing the exception is to alert that the records
> will not be sent, not that you are in an unrecoverable error state.
> We should throw a different (possibly new) type of exception here to
> distinguish from fatal and recoverable errors.
