> Key: KAFKA-3170
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3170
> Project: Kafka

> Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0
> Reporter: Rajini Sivaram

> Fix For: 0.9.0.1

>
> FETCH_MIN_BYTES_DOC says:
> {quote}
> The minimum amount of data the server should return for a fetch request. If
> insufficient data is available the request will wait for that much data to
> accumulate before answering the request. The default setting of 1 byte means
> that fetch requests are answered as soon as a single byte of data is
> available or the fetch request times out waiting for data to arrive. Setting
> this to something greater than 1 will cause the server to wait for larger
> amounts of data to accumulate which can improve server throughput a bit at
> the cost of some additional latency.
> {quote}
> But the default value is actually set to 1024. Either the doc or the value
> needs to be changed. Perhaps 1 is a better default?
