Hi Luke and Kafka Dev Team,
Any interest in making Kafka Producer non-blocking when Broker is down and
when the metadata refresh cache does not have topic details? This seems to
be a missing piece when it comes to Kafka Producer not being able to handle
state when it is really down vs metadata refresh is not available.
I hope there is enough interest to make this producer broker down vs
metadata not available.
Thanks,
Bhavesh
