Gregoire Seux updated KAFKA-436: -------------------------------- Description: Fetchsize parameter is per partition in fetch requests. This makes the size of response unpredicatable and thus might overflow. (original email : http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-kafka-users/201208.mbox/%3C416A89FBBC95114F8B2D2E91781541E9638B201E%40SRVEX02.criteois.lan%3E ) Three propositions : - fetch size is only a hint, broker will ensure that it won't overflow (maybe not sending too much data) - broker respect fetchsize as a global limit and not by partition - broker may not send data for all topics to avoid the overflow. Changing size to int64 could also decrease probablity of such event. was: Fetchsize parameter is per partition in fetch requests.
