no exceptions when producer send messages to a opened port that is not a broker

[Helin Xiang <xk...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am doing some tests about kafka, and I found this:

I was going to use the zookeeper to find broker, but somehow I set the
producer's property containing "port=xxx", it actually connect to a
'broker' on "localhost:xxx"; but the port is used for another service (a
thrift server, not a kafka broker),

so the real thing is *a producer send messages to a opened port that is not
a broker, and it didn't throw any exception*(I think catched all the
exceptions).

I wonder why it didnot throw any exception. could someone explain it OR how
can I catch those exceptions?

thanks

This is true in 0.7 since the producer doesn't receive any ack. So, unless
the other side closes the socket on a wrong request, the producer client
won't know that sth is wrong on the server.

In 0.8, the producer will wait for an ack from the broker and will timeout
if no response is received.

Thanks,
