queued.max.message.chunks impact and consumer tuning

[Bhavesh Mistry]

Hi Kafka Dev Team,

It seems that Maximum buffer size is set to  2 default.  What is impact of
changing this to 2000 or so ?   This will improve the consumer thread
performance ?  More event will be buffered in memory.  Or Is there any
other recommendation to tune High Level Consumers ?

Here is code from Kafka Trunk Branch:

  val MaxQueuedChunks = 2
  /** max number of message chunks buffered for consumption, each chunk can
be up to fetch.message.max.bytes*/
  val queuedMaxMessages = props.getInt("queued.max.message.chunks",
MaxQueuedChunks)



Thanks,

Bhavesh
