>                 Key: KAFKA-12296
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12296
>             Project: Kafka
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: producer , unit tests
>    Affects Versions: 2.7.0
>            Reporter: Olaf
>            Priority: Major
>
> In Unit tests, a MockProducer is used to imitate a real producer.
> Using the errorNext(RuntimeException e) method, it is possible to indicate failures.
> BUT: the asynchronous send method with a callback has a clear documentation of that callback interface, stating that Metadata will always be set, and never null.
> {{The metadata for the record that was sent (i.e. the partition and offset). An empty metadata with -1 value for all fields except for topicPartition will be returned if an error occurred.}}
>  
> The bug is, that in MockProducer's Completion implementation the following happens:
> {{if (e == null)}}
>  {{    callback.onCompletion(metadata, null);}}
>  {{else}}
>  {{    callback.onCompletion(null, e);}}
>  
> Behaving against the own documentation leads to very subtle bugs: tests that implement the error condition checking metadata != null will be fine, but in real life fail horribly.
>  
> A MockProducer should at all times behave exactly like the real thing and adhere to the documentation of the Callback!
