Jun, Agree about the two scenarios.
But still not sure about a single quota covering both network threads and I/O threads with per-thread quota. If there are 10 I/O threads and 5 network threads and I want to assign half the quota to userA, the quota would be 750%. I imagine, internally, we would convert this to 500% for I/O and 250% for network threads to allocate 50% of each pool. A couple of scenarios: 1. Admin adds 1 extra network thread. To retain 50%, admin needs to now allocate 800% for each user. Or increase the quota for a few users. To me, it feels like admin needs to convert 50% to 800% and Kafka internally needs to convert 800% to (500%, 300%). Everyone using just 50% feels a lot simpler. 2. We decide to add some other thread to this list. Admin needs to know exactly how many threads form the maximum quota. And we can be changing this between broker versions as we add more to the list. Again a single overall percent would be a lot simpler. There were others who were unconvinced by a single percent from the initial proposal and were happier with thread units similar to CPU units, so I am ok with going with per-thread quotas (as units or percent). Just not sure it makes it easier for admin in all cases. Regards, Rajini On Fri, Mar 3, 2017 at 6:03 AM, Jun Rao <j...@confluent.io> wrote: > Hi, Rajini, > > Consider modeling as n * 100% unit.
