---------------------------------------

             Summary: Documentation for transaction.timeout.ms should be more precise
                 Key: KAFKA-14638
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14638
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Alex Sorokoumov
            Assignee: Alex Sorokoumov


The documentation for {{transaction.timeout.ms}} is

{quote}
The maximum amount of time in ms that the transaction coordinator will wait for a transaction status update from the producer before proactively aborting the ongoing transaction. If this value is larger than the transaction.max.timeout.ms setting in the broker, the request will fail with a <code>InvalidTxnTimeoutException</code> error.
{quote}

It would be easier to reason about this timeout if the documentation would elaborate on when the timer starts ticking and under what circumstances it might reset.
