How shutdown KafkaListener when error occurs - apache-kafka

Question

I wrote a Listener in this way
#Autowired
private KafkaListenerEndpointRegistry kafkaListenerEndpointRegistry;
#KafkaListener(containerFactory = "cdcKafkaListenerContainerFactory", errorHandler = "errorHandler")
public void consume(#Payload String message) throws Exception {
...
}
#Bean
public KafkaListenerErrorHandler errorHandler() {
return ((message, e) -> {
kafkaListenerEndpointRegistry.stop();
return null;
});
}
In #KafkaListener annotation I specified my error handler that simply stop the consumer.
It seems to work but I've some question to ask.
Is there a built-in errorHandler for this scope? I've read that ContainerStoppingErrorHandler can be use, but I cannot set it because #KafkaListener's errorHandler accept beans of KafkaListenerErrorHandler type.
I see that with kafkaListenerEndpointRegistry.stop(); do a graceful stop. So before stopping the partition offset of the consumed message is committed.
What I would know is what happen when kafkaListenerEndpointRegistry.stop(); is called and before listener is definitely turned off another message arrive into the topic?
Is this message consumed?
I image this scenario
time0: kafkaListenerEndpointRegistry.stop() is called
time1: a message is pushed into the listened topic
time2: kafkaListenerEndpointRegistry.stop() complete graceful stop
I'm worried about a possible message arrive at time1. What would happen in this scenario?

Do not stop the container within the listener.
ContainerStoppingErrorHandler is set on the container factory, not the annotation.
If you are using Spring Boot, just declare the error handler as a bean and boot will wire it in.
Otherwise add the error handler to the connection factory bean.
With this error handler, throwing an exception will immediately stop the container.
