Jungtaek Lim commented on STORM-2914:
-------------------------------------
So I don't think we even need to have NONE processing guarantee: AT-MOST-ONCE
should be able to cover that. Topology processing can get delayed more and more
based on throughput vs incoming, but should never stuck, even we may encounter
OOME instead if we fail to adjust the parameters.
I'm not sure we may want to support this as official feature, but it may make
sense that spout discards current offset and pull from latest, if gap between
current offset and biggest offset exceeds specific threshold (or some other
conditions are met). That should work similar as [~avermeerbergen]'s self
healing cron.
> Remove enable.auto.commit support from storm-kafka-client

> Key: STORM-2914
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2914
> Project: Apache Storm
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: storm-kafka-client
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.2.0
> Reporter: Stig Rohde Døssing
> Assignee: Stig Rohde Døssing
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> The enable.auto.commit option causes the KafkaConsumer to periodically commit
> the latest offsets it has returned from poll(). It is convenient for use
> cases where messages are polled from Kafka and processed synchronously, in a
> loop.
> Due to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2913 we'd really like to
> store some metadata in Kafka when the spout commits. This is not possible
> with enable.auto.commit. I took at look at what that setting actually does,
> and it just causes the KafkaConsumer to call commitAsync during poll (and
> during a few other operations, e.g. close and assign) with some interval.
> Ideally I'd like to get rid of ProcessingGuarantee.NONE, since I think
> ProcessingGuarantee.AT_MOST_ONCE covers the same use cases, and is likely
> almost as fast. The primary difference between them is that AT_MOST_ONCE
> commits synchronously.
> If we really want to keep ProcessingGuarantee.NONE, I think we should make
> our ProcessingGuarantee.NONE setting cause the spout to call commitAsync
> after poll, and never use the enable.auto.commit option. This allows us to
> include metadata in the commit.
