Why do we need reconnect with an interval?

[Bae, Jae Hyeon]

Hi

I am wondering that we do really need the following producer configuration

  val reconnectInterval = Utils.getInt(props, "reconnect.interval", 30000)

  /** negative reconnect time interval means disabling this time-based
reconnect feature */
  var reconnectTimeInterval = Utils.getInt(props,
"reconnect.time.interval.ms", 1000*1000*10)

If these configurations have the history, please let me know.
Otherwise, I want to disable these default configurations.

Thank you
Best, Jae
