---------------------------------
Parent: KAFKA-10091
Issue Type: Sub-task (was: Improvement)
> Improve documentation of max.task.idle.ms (kafka-streams)
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-12360
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12360
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: docs, streams
> Reporter: Domenico Delle Side

> Priority: Minor
> Labels: beginner, newbie, trivial
>
> _max.task.idle.ms_ is an handy way to pause processing in a *_kafka-streams_*
> application. This is very useful when you need to join two topics that are
> out of sync, i.e when data in a topic may be produced _before_ you receive
> join information in the other topic.
> In the documentation, however, it is not specified that the value of
> _max.task.idle.ms_ *must* be lower than _max.poll.intervall.ms_, otherwise
> you'll incur into an endless rebalancing problem.
> I think it is better to clearly state this in the documentation.
