Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-1934:
----------------------------------

This is a public interface change so we should do a quick KIP and discuss.

I don't think it makes sense to add a shutdownNow() method given the existing method we have is close(), if anything it would be closeNow(). I would propose instead adding close(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) where passing in 0 is the equivalent of immediate shutdown. This is more general and actually I think the better thing to use since generally you want to give some time for a graceful shutdown before dropping data.

> We have a use case where user want to stop send any more messages if an error occurred on a previous send. Otherwise the message order might be broken. The shutdownNow() call will stop the producer right away without draining the messages in accumulator.
