-----------------------------
Summary: decouple fetch size from max message size
Key: KAFKA-598
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-598
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core
Affects Versions: 0.8
Reporter: Jun Rao
Currently, a consumer has to set fetch size larger than the max message size.
This increases the memory footprint on the consumer, especially when a large
number of topic/partition is subscribed. By decoupling the fetch size from max
message size, we can use a smaller fetch size for normal consumption and when
hitting a large message (hopefully rare), we automatically increase fetch size
to max message size temporarily.
