[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-3834) Consumer should not block in poll on coordinator discovery

["Abhishek Agarwal (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3834?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16088866#comment-16088866 ] 

Abhishek Agarwal commented on KAFKA-3834:
-----------------------------------------

[~hachikuji] If the ips are misconfigured or the broker is not available, then group_coordinator_request will never be sent to that node. Isn't it? Won't the lookupCoordinator() call itself fail, before the client blocks itself in awaitMetadataUpdate()

> Currently we block indefinitely in poll() when discovering the coordinator for the group. Instead, we can return an empty record set when the passed timeout expires. The downside is that it may obscure the underlying problem (which is usually misconfiguration), but users typically have to look at the logs to figure out the problem anyway.
