kafka tcp connection

[Sharat Jagannath <sh...@fusionops.com>]

I was just wondering, when does the kafka producer  tcp connection open
when using the java api? Is it when initializing the KafkaProducer object
using the constructor or when the actual send method is called to send the
record?
I am guessing its on send since if kafka is down, it throws a connection
error on the send method. Is that correct?

Thanks
