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

             Summary: Admin does not convert the AuthorizationException to fatal error in using bootstrap controllers
                 Key: KAFKA-18440
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-18440
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Chia-Ping Tsai
            Assignee: Chia-Ping Tsai


Admin use DescribeClusterRequest to build metadata when using bootstrap controllers, and controller APIs may return ClusterAuthorizationException when users have no "ALTER" permission (see https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/14306#discussion_r1312367762). 

However, admin does not convert the authorized exception to fatal exception (https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/admin/internals/AdminMetadataManager.java#L276), so it keeps sending the request to controller until timeout.
