Sorry I know next to nothing about Kafka Connect. I didn't understand the Kafka Connect / MM idea you brought up. Can you go into more detail?
Otherwise I think our remaining options are: - Jun's suggestion to bump up the KafkaConfig.messageMaxBytes for __consumer_offsets topic and change the fetch behavior when message size is larger than fetch size - option 6: support sending the regex over the wire instead of the fully expanded topic subscriptions. This should cut down the message size from the subscription side. Again this only helps when pattern-based subscriptions are done. minor correction to an earlier comment I made regarding the message size: message size ~ sum(s_i + a_i for i in range [1, |C|]) On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 3:35 PM, Jason Gustafson <ja...@confluent.io> wrote: > Hey Onur, > > Thanks for the investigation.
