Features

• #24826 Introduces the node config crash_loop_sleep_sec, which sets the time the broker sleeps before terminating the process when the limit on the number of consecutive times a broker can crash has been reached. This is most useful in Kubernetes environments where setting this value allows customers to have ssh access into a crash looping pod for a short window of time. by @pgellert in #24846
