Hi, This config is really relevant to 0.7 Kafka users using a VIP to talk to the Kafka cluster. VIP has a timeout for every TCP connection, where it cuts the connection that has been idle for a certain time. Most VIPs are configured to not send TCP RST back to the client, so the client does not know that the tcp connection is no more. The next time the client tries to write to the socket, it gets into a really long TCP RST retry loop. To avoid this, we added a producer config that would reconnect to the VIP after n requests or m ms, whatever comes earlier.
This config is no longer required in 0.8 and has been removed.
