Possible Bug: Sarama Kafka interacting with Kafka

[VincenzoFerme]

Refer to IBM/sarama#272 and monitor the cases in which this bug occurs, evaluation a possible workaround.

A possible workaround, or at least safe error detection, would be to retry and if not possible fail and manage the fails, when the following error occurs: LeaderNotAvailable (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/A+Guide+To+The+Kafka+Protocol), because that is the cause.

Of course, we first need to enable execution log collection: #43

If this is a bug, why it is still open and this is opened in 2016????

Dear @WandyLau, the project evolved quite a lot over time, and being limited in people working on it and time you might find cases like this one, where issues reporting possible Bugs are not updated. Sorry for that.

@VincenzoFerme
Thanks for reply. I asked this because we may got this issue in our system. And we made some workaround. I hope this can been resolved soon or some updated will be appreciated.

Are you using any of the BenchFlow collectors? If yes, we can discuss this issue and I might find some time to work on them according to your requirements.

I thought this is the root cause of IBM/sarama#272 . We do not use this collectors. We are using sarama.

I see, no, this issues describes how our service is affected by IBM/sarama#272.
