[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-18440) Admin does not convert the AuthorizationException to fatal error in using bootstrap controllers

["Chia-Ping Tsai (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-18440?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17910778#comment-17910778 ] 

Chia-Ping Tsai commented on KAFKA-18440:
----------------------------------------

we should convert the authorized exception to fatal error, so users can see the true exception rather than timeout exception.

> 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.
