Option to set timeout for Kafka client connection
Description
We would like to set an option of Kafka timeout. There are use-cases where the Kafka brokers are heavily utilized and metrics visibility is impacted due to connection timed out
@weeco Let me know what do you think, my team can support and implement this
@avivgold098 If you implement a configurable timeout for all Kafka requests, could you elaborate how that helps with metrics visibility? Even if we have a client sided request timeout, these requests would still be processed by the brokers.
I see this is an old issue, but our KMinion is really hurting. We would love to be able to configure our I/O timeout to be longer
