Hi. I have a simple client that send data to the kafka broker. What I would like to do is for it (client) to wait indefinitely for zookeeper to come up. My understanding is that this behavior is controlled by connection property zk.connectiontimeout.ms Its default value it 6000. I tried setting it to 0 or -1, hoping that it would mean "wait indefinitely", but I get exception saying that this is an invalid value. Thus I left only with choice of setting it to Integer.MAX_VALUE. Is that the right strategy or there is some other way to accomplish this?
