Hello,

I have created the KIP-498
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-498%3A+Add+client-side+configuration+for+maximum+response+size+to+protect+against+OOM>
to
propose a minor addition to the producer configuration properties, in order
to protect against OOM when the response message decoded by a client
indicates an "abnormally high" size to be allocated.

This follows this discussion thread
<https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@kafka.apache.org/msg55658.html> and is
tracked by KAFKA-4090 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4090>.

Please let me know what you think. I created this KIP even though the
change seems minimal because it affects client configuration, which is
mentioned as a type of change eligible for a KIP on this main wiki page
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Kafka+Improvement+Proposals>
.

Thanks,
Alexandre
