Badai Aqrandista created KAFKA-6939: ---------------------------------------
Summary: Change the default of log.message.timestamp.difference.max.ms to 500 years Key: KAFKA-6939 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6939 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Badai Aqrandista If producer incorrectly provides timestamp in microsecond (not in millisecond), the record is accepted by default and can cause broker to roll the segment files continuously. And on a heavily used broker, this will generate a lot of index files, which then causes the broker to hit `vm.max_map_count`. So I'd like to suggest changing the default for log.message.timestamp.difference.max.ms to 15768000000000 (500 years * 365 days * 86400 seconds * 1000). This would reject timestamp in microsecond from producer and still allow most historical data to be stored in Kafka. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
