Does Kafka batch when using broker-side compression?

2019-01-15 Thread Sven Ludwig
Hi, does a Kafka broker batch messages together in order to improve compression when using broker-side compression only? If so, what are the prerequisites to get that behavior? Perhaps a batching of messages at a producer might be beneficial or even mandatory in order to get batches in the log

Okay, but   what if one also needs to preserve the order of messages coming from a particular device? With Kafka, this is perhaps possible if all messages from a particular device go into the same partition. Would it be a good and efficient solution for this approach to set the key of each Kaf

Hi,   I have the case very often that I need to find out the Start and End Offset of a Kafka Topic.   Usually I go to the server to the place where the Topic contents (segments) are stored and look at the file names. This I do this way to avoid using Console Consumers since they make use of Offs

Problem to apply Broker-side lz4 compression even in fresh setup

Hi,   we thought we have lz4 applied as broker-side compression on our Kafka Cluster for storing measurements, but today I looked into the individual .log files and I was able to read all the measurements in plain text by just using less on the command line. This is for me an indicator that batc

by that broker will be in the new compression type. However, followers don't uncompress data, so they will store the data as it was in the leader. An easier way to test what you are trying to test is to use MirrorMaker to mirror the data to another cluster. Ismael On Mon, Jun 26, 2017 at 11:
