Are you asking about the maximum message size that can be sent from a producer? max.message.bytes is used to control that at broker/topic level. You can find more details at the below links.
*"The largest record batch size allowed by Kafka. If this is increased and there are consumers older than 0.10.2, the consumers' fetch size must also be increased so that the they can fetch record batches this large. In the latest message format version, records are always grouped into batches for efficiency. In previous message format versions, uncompressed records are not grouped into batches and this limit only applies to a single record in that case."* https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#topicconfigs https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#brokerconfigs Thanks, Satish.
