Ramiz Mehran deleted comment on KAFKA-10034: -------------------------------------- was (Author: JIRAUSER290918): "Firstly, this configuration is a cap on the maximum uncompressed record batch size." should be changed to "Firstly, this configuration is a cap on the maximum uncompressed record size." > Clarify Usage of "batch.size" and "max.request.size" Producer Configs > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-10034 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10034 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: docs, producer > Reporter: Mark Cox > Assignee: Badai Aqrandista > Priority: Minor > > The documentation around the producer configurations "batch.size" and > "max.request.size", and how they relate to one another, can be confusing. > In reality, the "max.request.size" is a hard limit on each individual record, > but the documentation makes it seem this is the maximum size of a request > sent to Kafka. If there is a situation where "batch.size" is set greater > than "max.request.size" (and each individual record is smaller than > "max.request.size") you could end up with larger requests than expected sent > to Kafka. > There are a few things that could be considered to make this clearer: > # Improve the documentation to clarify the two producer configurations and > how they relate to each other > # Provide a producer check, and possibly a warning, if "batch.size" is found > to be greater than "max.request.size" > # The producer could take the _minimum_ of "batch.size" or "max.request.size" > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
