             Summary: Allow retries to try different partitions where the use case allows it
                 Key: KAFKA-7073
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7073
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
            Reporter: moshe blumberg


Currently producer retry logic will always retry to the same partition. However, this means that if that partition leader is slow or unavailable the retry will suffer.

In use cases where messages are not sent to a specific partition this limitation is unnecessary. The retries could send to another, performing, partition.

Could an indication of whether specific partitioning is required and the retry logic behave accordingly?
