Vertx blocked thread & Kafka timeout issue

Hi
we are sending packet from registration client to registration-processsor, but we are getting an error at the stage 1:
Failed kafkaProducer.write null {}
org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Failed to update metadata after 60000 ms.
Kafka params are:

  • KAFKA_BROKER_ID: 1
  •   KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT: 'zookeeper:2181'
    
  •   KAFKA_LISTENER_SECURITY_PROTOCOL_MAP: PLAINTEXT:PLAINTEXT,PLAINTEXT_INTERNAL:PLAINTEXT
    
  •   KAFKA_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS: PLAINTEXT://kafka:9092,PLAINTEXT_INTERNAL://kafka:29092
    
  •   KAFKA_OFFSETS_TOPIC_REPLICATION_FACTOR: 1
    
  •   KAFKA_TRANSACTION_STATE_LOG_MIN_ISR: 1
    
  •   KAFKA_TRANSACTION_STATE_LOG_REPLICATION_FACTOR: 1
    
  •   KAFKA_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS: 60000
    

Below the details:

How often are you seeing this error? This error essentially means somewhere else the software is stuck or too slow.
