Summary: Producer queue time does not reflect batches expired in the accumulator Key: KAFKA-14672 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14672 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Jason Gustafson The producer exposes two metrics for the time a record has spent in the accumulator waiting to be drained: * `record-queue-time-avg` * `record-queue-time-max` The metric is only updated when a batch is drained for sending to the broker. It is also possible for a batch to be expired before it can be drained, but in this case, the metric is not updated. This seems surprising and makes the queue time misleading. The only metric I could find that does reflect batch expirations in the accumulator is the generic `record-error-rate`. It would make sense to let the queue-time metrics record the time spent in the queue regardless of the outcome of the record send attempt. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
