Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-200: ------------------------------- John, Thanks for the detailed update. From TCP illustrated section 13.3.3, last paragraph: "The shift count is automatically chosen by TCP, based on the size of the receive buffer." So, to set a TCP window size larger than 64K, we just need to make sure the receive buffer size is set properly before the connection is established. So, Approach 3 as you listed is the right thing to do. Could you upload a new patch? > Support configurable send / receive socket buffer size in server > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-200 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-200 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: core > Affects Versions: 0.7 > Reporter: John Fung > Fix For: 0.8 > > Attachments: KAFKA-200.patch > > > * Make the send / receive socket buffer size configurable in server. > * KafkaConfig.scala already has the following existing variables to support > send / receive buffer: > socketSendBuffer > socketReceiveBuffer > * The patch attached to this ticket will read the following existing settings > in <kafka>/config/server.properties and set the corresponding socket buffers > . . . > # The send buffer (SO_SNDBUF) used by the socket server > socket.send.buffer=1048576 > # The receive buffer (SO_RCVBUF) used by the socket server > socket.receive.buffer=1048576 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
