Danny Yeshurun created KAFKA-744: ------------------------------------ Summary: Bad response time for fetch request Key: KAFKA-744 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-744 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Danny Yeshurun
Getting a response to a fetch request from an empty partition after the first time takes lots of time. example: Post a fetch request to topic 'test' partition 0 which has no data in it, you get the response in ~0.0005 sec. When posting the same request for the second time (still no data the response time is ~0.04 sec. Following is a simplistic php script that demonstrate the problem (note that the time is measured for the 1st read) $host = "your-kafka-ip:port"; $socket = stream_socket_client($host); if (!$socket) { print "can't connect\n"; exit; } $topic = 'test'; $data = pack('n', 1); // fetch $data .= pack('n', strlen($topic)) . $topic;//short string $data .= pack('N', 0);//partition $data .= str_repeat(chr(0), 8);//offset $data .= pack('N', 1000); //max size $requestSize = strlen($data); for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) { fwrite($socket, pack('N', $requestSize)); fwrite($socket, $data); $ts = microtime(true); $bytes32 = fread($socket, 4); $ts = microtime(true) - $ts; print "> {$ts}\n"; $responseSize = current(unpack('N', $bytes32)); $bytes16 = fread($socket,2); } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
