Summary: Max connections per listener are not blocked Key: KAFKA-13427 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13427 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 2.7.0 Reporter: Ekaterina Chernousova According to the documentation, new connections should be blocked if the listener-level limit max connections (listener.name.example.max.connections) is reached except it's an inter-broker listener. [http://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#brokerconfigs_max.connections] However, it seems an external listener is treated the same way as inter-broker listener which is connections are being accepted and then some connections with lower priority are closed. When I was running some workloads with the listener.name.example.max.connections limit in play, I didn't see any toomanyconnections exceptions, from clients side it was connections were established and disconnected later. After checking the source code [https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/core/src/main/scala/kafka/network/SocketServer.scala#L715] I don't see the listener-level max connections limit is being checked before accepting a connection. Setting a lower priority as I'm not sure if it's a documentation error or a bug, please let me know if I missed something, thanks! -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
