Data lose prevention configuration no longer works with Kafka 9.x

2016-03-30 Thread Atul Soman
Hi List,
 Our requirement is to have the producers wait (indefinitely) until kafka 
broker comes up (in case of maintenance or network interruptions). We have disk 
caching in front of producer, when the producer waits and it drains when the 
producer eventually reconnects. This functionality was working fine in Kafka 
0.8.2.1. The producer settings I used are.

block.on.buffer.full=true
retries=MAXINT
acks=all
reconnect.backoff.ms=1
max.in.flight.requests.per.connection=1

(I would like to acknowledge Gwen Shapiras slideshare 
http://www.slideshare.net/gwenshap/kafka-reliability-when-it-absolutely-positively-has-to-be-there
  on which this setting was derived for 0.8.2.1)

Issue:

I am currently evaluating an upgrade to the latest version and what I observe 
is that this setting no longer works. I debugged the code a bit and observed 
that the changes added for 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-19+-+Add+a+request+timeout+to+NetworkClient
 could be causing this. To give more details.

Thread 1:
BufferPool. Allocate()
   moreMemory.await(maxTimeToBlock, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)  => 
Waiting

Thread 2:
Sender.run()

accumulator.abortExpiredBatches(this.requestTimeout=> Defaults 
to 30 seconds

RecordAccumilator.deallocate(batch)

BufferPool.deallocate()
   
moreMem.signal() => This will wake up the first thread.

So looks like the property value set by max.block.ms  is overridden by the 
value of request.timeout.ms. I am not fully sure if this behavior is intended. 
If that's the case it would be good to indicate in the documentation.

Also, I would be interested to know what is the ideal producer configuration 
setting for preventing data loss for 0.9.x.

Many Thanks,
Atul Soman.

I am unable to assign this issue to me. Is it because i do not have some 
permissions. Can someone guide me on what i need to do to assign this issue to 
myself.

 Summary: Adding -daemon option to zookeeper-server-start.sh USAGE
 Key: KAFKA-3119
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3119
 Project: Kafka
  Issue Type: Improvement
  Components: config
Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0
 Environment: All
Reporter: Atul Soman
Priority: Minor


zookeeper-server-start.sh used to start zookeeper already have the ability to 
run in background using -daemon option. But while trying to check for its usage 
pattern by running zookeeper-server-start.sh, it do not display -daemon as a 
viable option.

It is good to expose all used features in the USAGE: section, especially for a 
feature as critical as this which will be used a lot in production.
