Jason Gustafson commented on KAFKA-10667: ----------------------------------------- The api timeout does not seem to help us here since the broker does not have it. I think it would be reasonable to retry for the duration of the inter-broker request timeout. > Add timeout for forwarding requests > ----------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-10667 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10667 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Boyang Chen > Priority: Major > > It makes sense to handle timeout for forwarding request coming from the > client, instead of retry indefinitely. We could either use the api timeout, > or a customized timeout hook which could be defined by different request > types. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
