KIP-537 — Increase default zookeeper session timeou
Accepted Kafka 2.5 Broker
Increases the default value of zookeeper.session.timeout.ms from 6000ms to 18000ms. Cloud and containerized environments experience higher network jitter than on-premise datacenters, causing spurious ZooKeeper session expirations that trigger unnecessary controller failovers and partition leader elections.
