             Summary: Using kafka-console-producer with invalid broker list weirds to unexpected behavior
                 Key: KAFKA-3638
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3638
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jarek Jarcec Cecho


I've messed the port when running console producer on my test cluster and instead of {{ConnectionRefused}} exception or something like that, I didn't get any immediate error. After I tried to produce some messages I got nothing and after a minute or so got {{ERROR}} about updating metadata:

{code}
[root@centos6 ~]# kafka-console-producer --broker-list localhost:666 --topic source
asfasdf
[2016-04-28 14:28:01,950] ERROR Error when sending message to topic source with key: null, value: 7 bytes with error: Failed to update metadata after 60000 ms. (org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.ErrorLoggingCallback)
{code}

Would it perhaps make sense to throw more accurate exception in this case?
