>             Project: Kafka
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: security
>    Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0

> This issue is observed with kafka/sentry integration. When sentry does not have any permissions for a topic and there is a producer trying to add a message to a topic, sentry returns failure but Kafka is not able to handle it properly and is ending up invoking sentry Auth API ~564 times. This will choke authorization service.
> Here are the list of privileges that are needed for a producer to add a message to a topic
> In this example "192.168.0.3" is hostname and topic name is "tOpIc1"
> {noformat}
> HOST=192.168.0.3->Topic=tOpIc1->action=DESCRIBE
> HOST=192.168.0.3->Cluster=kafka-cluster->action=CREATE
> HOST=192.168.0.3->Topic=tOpIc1->action=WRITE
> {noformat}
> This problem is reported in this jira is seen when there are no permissions. Movement a DESCRIBE permission is added, this issue is not seen. Authorization fails but kafka doesn't bombard with he more requests.
