Thank you for your answer. SyncProducer doesn't change its host and port when reconnecting. So, I don't understand why reconnection can be helpful for load balancing. When the new broker is registered in the zookeeper, it will be added in the ProducerPool by producerCbk, which does not seem related with balancing.
So, is it totally safe to change reconnect.interval as Integer.MAX_VALUE and reconnect.time.interval.ms as -1 in the environment where the broker can be newly created?
