Across Partitions in KafkaConsumer

Hi,

I know everyone is busy. But I would appreciate someone letting me know what to 
do next. I started this effort back in last year early November...

Thanks, CH

Hi guys,

I am not sure what to do next in this KIP process. Could anyone please 
help/advise me on what to do next? 

Thanks, CH

Hi Colin,

Setting max.partition.fetch.bytes was discussed in the ticket. It's not as 
desirable if the message size is highly variable. Also this decrease the 
efficiency of network communication. 

In the case you mentioned below where a consumer can get messages from A, B, C 
and D but the consumer currently only has messages from A, B and C, the 
proposed change will NOT wait until some messages from D arrives to start 
returning messages; it will just serve those from A, B and C. It will include 
those from D when they are available. That IS the current behavior. The 
proposed change does not impose a strict round robin pattern.

The original KIP 41 discussed "Ensuring Fair Consumption", that means it 
originally intended to take that into account in the Consumer code, the 
proposed change takes the current algorithm closer to that goal, IMHO. I could 
implement that logic at the caller side but, that would mean each library user 
need to know the inner working of the consumer code and to implement the logic 
on their own. Though as a first timer here, I do appreciate the complexity and 
functionalities in the client library and feel that we'd be better off as a 
community to implement the logic in the library so the complexity is hidden 
from library users.

Thanks, CH

Hi ChienHsing Wu,

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but I'm not sure I see the need for a KIP 
here.  You can just set max.partition.fetch.bytes to a very small value.  That 
will cause Kafka to fetch only one message from each partition.  This will give 
you the round robin behavior you want.

Alternately, if you don't want to change max.partition.fetch.bytes, you could 
do your own buffering to get round robin behavior.  Keep a buffer of messages 
from partition A, B, C, and D and hold back the messages from A, B, and C until 
one from D arrives, so that the A B C D A B C D... etc. order always repeats.

best,
Colin
