Tom Bentley resolved KAFKA-5554.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Abandoned
> Hilight config settings for particular common use cases
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-5554
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5554
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Tom Bentley
> Assignee: Tom Bentley
> Priority: Minor
>
> Judging by the sorts of questions seen on the mailling list, stack overflow
> etc it seems common for users to assume that Kafka will default to settings
> which won't lose messages. They start using Kafka and at some later time find
> messages have been lost.
> While it's not our fault if users don't read the documentation, there's a lot
> of configuration documentation to digest and it's easy for people to miss an
> important setting.
> Therefore, I'd like to suggest that in addition to the current configuration
> docs we add a short section highlighting those settings which pertain to
> common use cases, such as:
> * configs to avoid lost messages
> * configs for low latency
> I'm sure some users will continue to not read the documentation, but when
> they inevitably start asking questions it means people can respond with "have
> you configured everything as described here?"
