Hey [~gharris1727] , I would like to work on this task. Can you assign it to
me. Thanks
> Refactor ConsumerTaskTest to be deterministic and avoid tight loops
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-16862
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-16862
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Tiered-Storage
> Affects Versions: 3.8.0
> Reporter: Greg Harris
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: newbie
>
> The ConsumerTaskTest instantiates a MockConsumer, and uses this MockConsumer
> instance in the ConsumerTask, which is run in a background thread.
> * This causes the background thread to tight loop on MockConsumer#poll, which
> has no sleep or other delay mechanism. This wastes CPU cycles and makes it
> impossible to use MockConsumer#schedulePollTask to meaningfully mock out the
> poll behavior.
> * The test thread then needs to use TestUtils.waitForCondition, which
> repeatedly polls a result until it is satisfactory, wasting CPU cycles and
> introducing opportunities for timeout errors. (The test is not currently
> flaky in CI, so this is less of a concern).
> Instead, the ConsumerTaskTest can be rewritten to not utilize a background
> thread, and make all calls to the MockConsumer on the same thread. This is
> the model that the DistributedHerderTest uses with DistributedHerder#tick,
> and WorkerSinkTaskTest uses with WorkerSinkTask#iteration.
> AbstractWorkerSourceTaskTest uses a similar model with multiple methods, the
> most notable being AbstractWorkerSourceTask#sendRecords.
