Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-1282: -------------------------------- Nicu, On #2, I wasn't worried about any performance optimization. My concern is mostly on testing and ease of understanding. Since removeEldestEntry is only called on update, you can't test the logic on a single connection to the broker. It's a bit weird that if there is only a single idle connection, that connection is never killed. But as soon as a second connection is added, the idle connection will be killed. For the user's perspective, it's simpler to understand how idle connections are killed if they are not tied to # of connection. Also, could you explain how you fixed #1 in the latest patch? It wasn't obvious to me. > Disconnect idle socket connection in Selector > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1282 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1282 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: producer > Affects Versions: 0.8.2 > Reporter: Jun Rao > Assignee: nicu marasoiu > Labels: newbie++ > Fix For: 0.9.0 > > Attachments: > KAFKA-1282_Disconnect_idle_socket_connection_in_Selector.patch, > idleDisconnect.patch > > > To reduce # socket connections, it would be useful for the new producer to > close socket connections that are idle.
