Hi, all I'm trying to optimize the long tail latency in kafka. My OS is centos 4.3 kernel 2.6.32. Java version 1.8.0_45 kafka version 0.10.2. The disk is sata HDD.
My log: [2017-12-22 15:29:58,156] TRACE [ReplicaFetcherThread-2-1], Follower 2 has replica log end offset 10428 for partition kafka-monitor-topic-0. Received 241 messages and leader hw 10428 (kafka.server.ReplicaFetcherThread) [2017-12-22 15:29:58,621] TRACE Appended 241 to /home/disk0/kafka/kafka-monitor-topic-0/00000000000000000000.log at offset 10428 (kafka.log.LogSegment) It took about 500ms to append log the disk. Is there any way to optimize this? I've set vm.swapness = 1, but it didnt help, could anyone give some suggestions (other than switching to ssd)?
