Why do some people so strongly recommend cutting large messages into many small messages, as opposed to changing max.message.bytes?
For example, Stéphane Maarek at https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-send-Large-messages-80-MB-in-Kafkam, says "Kafka isn’t meant to handle large messages and that’s why the message max size is 1MB (the setting in your brokers is called message.max.bytes). See Apache Kafka. If you wanted to you could increase that as well as make sure to increase the network buffers for your producers and consumers. Let me be clear, I DO NOT ENCOURAGE THIS." It seems to me that a 100 megabyte message should be fine on any large server. Thanks in Advance, Clark
