Elapsed time to recover connectivity between client / brokers

[jsolana]

Description

Hi all,

I have an app, producing messages. This is the code:

producerConfig.MaxInFlight = 1;
producerConfig.MessageTimeoutMs = 0;
producerConfig.SocketTimeoutMs = 10000;

producerBuilder.SetErrorHandler((_, e) => OnError?.Invoke(new StreamingError { IsFatal = e.IsFatal, Reason = e.Reason }));
var p = producerBuilder.Build();

p.Produce(this.topic, getMessage.Invoke(message),
      r =>
        {
            if (r.Error.IsError)
                OnError?.Invoke(new StreamingError { IsFatal = r.Error.IsFatal , Reason = r.Error.Reason });
        });

//Omit for clarity

 p.Flush(cancellationToken);
// Continue

Other producer configuration parameters (sasl configuration omited):

"BatchNumMessages": "1000",
"LingerMs": "1000",
"CompressionType" : "zstd",
"Acks" : "-1",
"MaxInflight": "1",
"EnableIdempotence" : true,
"SslEndpointIdentificationAlgorithm": "https",
"SecurityProtocol": "SaslSsl",
"SaslMechanism": "ScramSha512",

Environment

• Ubuntu 20.10
• Confluent.Kafka 1.7.0
• Apache Kafka 2.6.0
• Net Core 2.1

How to reproduce

I want to confirm if this is the expected behavior : 1) I establish connection between client and brokers 2) When I produce the message (just before), I lost the connectivity (I force this situation shutingdown VPN connection) and then continue the execution 3) The thread still waiting in Flush method. 3) Each 10 seconds a REQTMOUT message is printed 4) Each 120 seconds producerBuilder.SetErrorHandler code is execute with a connection timeout error

This is the log:

If I recover the conectivity I have to wait as much 120 seconds (when the next Connection time out happend) and then Flush execution can finish (the message is produced) and continue.

I asume that this interval between Connection timed out (after 129869ms in state CONNECT, 1 identical error(s) suppressed) and the connection recovery is configured with delivery.timeout.ms. Am I right or exists other form to configure connection timeout?

Thanks,

If I recover the conectivity I have to wait as much 120 seconds (when the next Connection time out happend) and then Flush execution can finish (the message is produced) and continue.

I have not looked into this in detail, but reconnect.backoff.max.ms is 10000, so I would expect the maximum time you should need to wait would be of that order (not 120 seconds). @edenhill ?
