Guozhang Wang commented on KAFKA-1623: -------------------------------------- Thanks for pointing it out Shlomi. I think this can be fixed by reducing the select time (e.g. 100ms) and setting a proper tcp backlog time long enough so that the thread will be awaken quickly once the connection is opened. The reason I prefer not to make them configurable is that in practice a proper universal value for such configs may be good enough for all scenarios and adding more such configs may swamped the number of switches displayed to users. > kafka is sometimes slow to accept connections > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1623 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1623 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core > Affects Versions: 0.9.0 > Reporter: Shlomi Hazan > Labels: performance > > from SocketServer.scala:144 > the Acceptor can wait up to 500 millis before processing the accumulated FDs. > Also, the backlog of the acceptor socket seems not to be defined, which may > be problematic if all 500 millis are elapsed before the thread awakes. > setting the backlog is doable using the proper ServerSocket Ctor, and maybe > better be provisioned via configuration. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
