Boyang Chen commented on KAFKA-10242: ------------------------------------- Is this really critical? I think we could downgrade to major. Besides, we need to kick off a KIP discussion if we haven't done yet, and link it to the JIRA. > Adding metrics to track the total count of idempotent producers that Broker > need to track > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-10242 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10242 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: producer > Affects Versions: 2.5.0 > Reporter: Ming Liu > Priority: Critical > Labels: needs-kip > Fix For: 2.7.0 > > > We found it is very useful to track the total number of idempotent producers > that broker is tracking. > In our production environment, we have many idempotent producers for a > cluster and sometimes that number increased to very high number which > requires some attention to mitigate. > This is especially true for client (< 2.4) where the client retry might > generate too many different idempotent producers which can trigger broker GC. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
