Hey Lucas, Thanks much for the detailed documentation of the experiment.
Initially I also think having a separate queue for controller requests is useful because, as you mentioned in the summary section of the Google doc, controller requests are generally more important than data requests and we probably want controller requests to be processed sooner. But then Eno has two very good questions which I am not sure the Google doc has answered explicitly. Could you help with the following questions? 1) It is not very clear what is the actual benefit of KIP-291 to users. The experiment setup in the Google doc simulates the scenario that broker is very slow handling ProduceRequest due to e.g. slow disk. It currently assumes that there is only 1 partition. But in the common scenario, it is probably reasonable to assume that there are many other partitions that are also actively produced to and ProduceRequest to these partition also takes e.g. 2 seconds to be processed. So even if broker0 can become follower for the partition 0 soon, it probably still needs to process the ProduceRequest slowly t in the queue because these ProduceRequests cover other partitions. Thus most ProduceRequest will still timeout after 30 seconds and most clients will still likely timeout after 30 seconds. Then it is not obviously what is the benefit to client since client will timeout after 30 seconds before possibly re-connecting to broker1, with or without KIP-291. Did I miss something here? 2) I guess Eno's is asking for the specific benefits of this KIP to user or system administrator, e.g. whether this KIP decreases average latency, 999th percentile latency, probably of exception exposed to client etc. It is probably useful to clarify this. 3) Does this KIP help improve user experience only when there is issue with broker, e.g. significant backlog in the request queue due to slow disk as described in the Google doc? Or is this KIP also useful when there is no ongoing issue in the cluster? It might be helpful to clarify this to understand the benefit of this KIP.
