-----------------------------------

             Summary: Potential Kafka producer leak in case of failures
                 Key: FLINK-10455
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10455
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Kafka Connector
    Affects Versions: 1.5.2
            Reporter: Nico Kruber


If the Kafka brokers' timeout is too low for our checkpoint interval [1], we may get an {{ProducerFencedException}}. Documentation around {{ProducerFencedException}} explicitly states that we should close the producer after encountering it.

By looking at the code, it doesn't seem like this is actually done in {{FlinkKafkaProducer011}}. Also, in case one transaction's commit in {{TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction#notifyCheckpointComplete}} fails with an exception, we don't clean up (nor try to commit) any other transaction.
-> from what I see, {{TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction#notifyCheckpointComplete}} simply iterates over the {{pendingCommitTransactions}} which is not touched during {{close()}}

Now if we restart the failing job on the same Flink cluster, any resources from the previous attempt will still linger around.
