---------------------------------
Assignee: Kirk True
> Failed cluster authorization should not be fatal for producer
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-13668
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13668
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Jason Gustafson
> Assignee: Kirk True
> Priority: Major
>
> The idempotent producer fails fatally if the initial `InitProducerId` returns
> CLUSTER_AUTHORIZATION_FAILED. This makes the producer unusable until a new
> instance is constructed. For some applications, it is more convenient to keep
> the producer instance active and let the administrator fix the permission
> problem instead of going into a crash loop. Additionally, most applications
> will probably not be smart enough to reconstruct the producer instance, so if
> the application does not handle the error by failing, users will have to
> restart the application manually.
> I think it would be better to let the producer retry the `InitProducerId`
> request as long as the user keeps trying to use the producer.
