- * monitorKafkaLiveness is responsible for monitoring the Kafka Interadapter Proxy connectivity state
- *
- * Any producer that fails to send will cause KafkaInterContainerProxy to
- * post a false event on its liveness channel. Any producer that succeeds in sending
- * will cause KafkaInterContainerProxy to post a true event on its liveness
- * channel. Group receivers also update liveness state, and a receiver will typically
- * indicate a loss of liveness within 3-5 seconds of Kafka going down. Receivers
- * only indicate restoration of liveness if a message is received. During normal
- * operation, messages will be routinely produced and received, automatically
- * indicating liveness state. These routine liveness indications are rate-limited
- * inside sarama_client.
- *
- * This thread monitors the status of KafkaInterContainerProxy's liveness and pushes
- * that state to the core's readiness probes. If no liveness event has been seen
- * within a timeout, then the thread will make an attempt to produce a "liveness"
- * message, which will in turn trigger a liveness event on the liveness channel, true
- * or false depending on whether the attempt succeeded.
- *
- * The gRPC server in turn monitors the state of the readiness probe and will
- * start issuing UNAVAILABLE response while the probe is not ready.

- * startupRetryInterval -- interval between attempts to start
- * liveProbeInterval -- interval between liveness checks when in a live state
- * notLiveProbeInterval -- interval between liveness checks when in a notLive state
