Hi,
the error is logged is coming from the Kafka code we are referring to. The Kafka user@ list is probably a better place to seek for help on this one.
I've searched for the error message at Google. It seems that the message does not immediately indicate an error. Also note, it is logged at level INFO, not WARN or anything severe.
Are there any other warnings logged? Does the error only happen together with other events?
I don't think that this slows down the performance.
Regards,
Robert
