[jira] [Updated] (KAFKA-12726) misbehaving Task.stop() can prevent other Tasks from stopping

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12726?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ryanne Dolan updated KAFKA-12726:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
We've observed a misbehaving Task fail to stop in a timely manner (e.g. stuck in a retry loop). Despite Connect supporting a property task.shutdown.graceful.timeout.ms, this is currently not enforced – tasks can take as long as they want to stop, and the only consequence is an error message.

We've seen a Worker's "task-count" metric double following a rebalance, which we think is due to Tasks not getting cleaned up when Task.stop() is stuck.

While the Connector implementation is ultimately to blame here – a Task probably shouldn't loop forever in stop() – we believe the Connect runtime should handle this situation more gracefully.

Unfortunately, Workers stop Tasks sequentially, meaning that a stuck Task can prevent any further Tasks from stopping. Moreover, after a rebalance, these lingering tasks can persist along with their replacements. For example, we've seen a Worker's "task-count" metric double following a rebalance.

While the Connector implementation is ultimately to blame here -- a Task probably shouldn't loop forever in stop() -- we believe the Connect runtime should handle this situation more gracefully.
