Kafka producer does not respect added partitions

[Robert Quinlivan <rq...@signal.co>]

Hello,

I have added partitions to a topic. The new partitions appear in the
consumer assignments and in the topics listing they have the correct number
of ISRs. However, the producer still does not write to the new partitions.

My producer writes in a round-robin fashion, using the Cluster's reported
partition count. I have seen no mention of a need to restart or reconfigure
the producer in order to pick up the added partitions. Is this required?

Thanks

producer refreshes the metadata for every metadata.max.age.ms (default
5min) to
discover new partitions.
