Stage Exception while running queue processor
Hi Team,
I am frequently encountering the below stage exception in lower environments queue processor.
In logs I could see that
com.pega.dnode.api.Dataflow.stageException
caused by: org.apache.Kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException:Time-out expired while fetching topic metadata
Can anybody advise what may the reason for this error and how can we over come this ?
