Hello! I’m having some problems with librdkafka. Why does rd\_kafka\_produce() always seem to succeed, even if there is a problem connecting to the Kafka brokers? What caused the produce client frequently disconnected from the broker during use? Configuration? Network? or Other reasons? Following info by tracking the logs in the kafka\_broker.c by myself: ```auto 61742 [ERROR] [2022-09-07 10:33:03] [rdkafka_broker.c]-Ln5057 rkb_state:RD_KAFKA_BROKER_STATE_DOWN,TRY_CONNECT again 61743 [ERROR] [2022-09-07 10:33:03] [rdkafka_broker.c]-Ln3328 A connection to this broker is needed,abs_timeout:0 61744 [ERROR] [2022-09-07 10:33:03] [rdkafka_broker.c]-Ln5057 rkb_state:RD_KAFKA_BROKER_STATE_DOWN,TRY_CONNECT again 61745 [ERROR] [2022-09-07 10:33:03] [rdkafka_broker.c]-Ln3328 A connection to this broker is needed,abs_timeout:0 61746 [ERROR] [2022-09-07 10:33:03] [rdkafka_broker.c]-Ln5057 rkb_state:RD_KAFKA_BROKER_STATE_DOWN,TRY_CONNECT again 61747 [ERROR] [2022-09-07 10:33:03] [rdkafka_broker.c]-Ln3328 A connection to this broker is needed,abs_timeout:0 61748 [ERROR] [2022-09-07 10:33:03] [rdkafka_broker.c]-Ln5057 rkb_state:RD_KAFKA_BROKER_STATE_DOWN,TRY_CONNECT again 61749 [ERROR] [2022-09-07 10:33:03] [rdkafka_broker.c]-Ln3328 A connection to this broker is needed,abs_timeout:0 61750 [ERROR] [2022-09-07 10:33:03] [rdkafka_broker.c]-Ln5057 rkb_state:RD_KAFKA_BROKER_STATE_DOWN,TRY_CONNECT again 61751 [ERROR] [2022-09-07 10:33:03] [rdkafka_broker.c]-Ln3328 A connection to this broker is needed,abs_timeout:0 61752 [ERROR] [2022-09-07 10:33:03] [rdkafka_broker.c]-Ln5057 rkb_state:RD_KAFKA_BROKER_STATE_DOWN,TRY_CONNECT again 61753 [ERROR] [2022-09-07 10:33:03] [rdkafka_broker.c]-Ln3328 A connection to this broker is needed,abs_timeout:0 61754 [ERROR] [2022-09-07 10:33:03] [rdkafka_broker.c]-Ln5057 rkb_state:RD_KAFKA_BROKER_STATE_DOWN,TRY_CONNECT again 61755 [ERROR] [2022-09-07 10:33:03] [rdkafka_broker.c]-Ln3328 A connection to this broker is needed,abs_timeout:0 ``` another quertion is that whether the numbers of TCP links between the produce and the brokers can be controlled by configuration without changing the configuration of the server? Any help is apreciated! Thanks in advance.
