[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-2120) Add a request timeout to NetworkClient

["Jason Gustafson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2120?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14573643#comment-14573643 ] 

Jason Gustafson commented on KAFKA-2120:
----------------------------------------

The new consumer will also be able to take advantage of a request timeout in NetworkClient. Currently the consumer just blocks indefinitely on some requests, but we will probably need a timeout to resolve KAFKA-1894.

> Currently NetworkClient does not have a timeout setting for requests. So if no response is received for a request due to reasons such as broker is down, the request will never be completed.
> Request timeout will also be used as implicit timeout for some methods such as KafkaProducer.flush() and kafkaProducer.close().
> KIP-19 is created for this public interface change.
