>                 Key: KAFKA-3011
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3011
>             Project: Kafka
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: clients
>    Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0
>         Environment: all
>            Reporter: Eric Bowman
>            Priority: Major
>
> Because of this loop in ConsumerNetworkClient:
> {code:java}
>     public void awaitMetadataUpdate() {
>         int version = this.metadata.requestUpdate();
>         do {
>             poll(Long.MAX_VALUE);
>         } while (this.metadata.version() == version);
>     }
> {code}
> ...if Kafka is not reachable (perhaps not running, or other network issues, unclear), then KafkaConsumer.poll(0) will block until it's available.
> I suspect that better behavior would be an exception
