The onCompletion() method of Kafka’s Callback interface is executed once the broker acknowledges the message. This includes success or failure, and it is invoked asynchronously by the producer.

From Kafka Java Client API Documentation:

“The onCompletion method will be called when the record sent to the server has been acknowledged, or when an error occurs.”

This ensures that the record was sent and acknowledged, not just added to a batch or local buffer.

With acks=all and min.insync.replicas=2, Kafka requires at least two in-sync replicas to acknowledge a write. If only one broker is alive, the condition fails, and NotEnoughReplicasException is thrown by the producer.

From Kafka Producer Exception Docs:

“NotEnoughReplicasException is thrown when the number of in-sync replicas is insufficient to satisfy acks=all with min.insync.replicas.”

NetworkException is generic and not raised here.

NotCoordinatorException is related to consumer group coordination.

NotLeaderForPartitionException is unrelated unless accessing an unassigned leader.

Kafka Connect can run in standalone mode or distributed mode. For simple tasks like reading logs from a file on a single host, standalone mode is recommended.

From Kafka Connect User Guide:

“Standalone mode is useful when running connectors on a single machine (e.g., for development or simple deployments like log collection from a local file).”

Distributed mode is preferred for scalability and fault tolerance but overkill for this use case.
