Was there a concern or issue you had before this was merged? > KafkaWriter is asynchronous and may lose data on node failure > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: METRON-1594 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1594 > Project: Metron > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Michael Miklavcic > Assignee: Michael Miklavcic > Priority: Major > > Currently, we do not block for data to be sent from kafka writer and we do > not batch. Unfortunately, the send call is asynchronous, so if the node dies > before the data is actually sent from kafka then it will drop data. It is > highly unlikely that we will be able to make kafkawriter synchronous in a > performant way, so we will likely need to batch in the parser and enrichment > topologies. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
