Patrick Lucas commented on KAFKA-1273: -------------------------------------- I ran into this on 0.8.1.1. Perhaps if you override message.max.bytes in the config file it complains on startup, but Kafka allows you to modify this value per-topic. I have a topic with a higher value of message.max.bytes, and it was very difficult to diagnose why its replicas could not stay in sync. > Brokers should make sure replica.fetch.max.bytes >= message.max.bytes > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1273 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1273 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: replication > Affects Versions: 0.8.0 > Reporter: Dong Zhong > Assignee: Sriharsha Chintalapani > Labels: newbie > > If message.max.bytes is larger than replica.fetch.max.bytes,followers can't > fetch data from the leader and will incur endless retry. And this may cause > high network traffic between followers and leaders. > Brokers should make sure replica.fetch.max.bytes >= message.max.bytes by > adding a sanity check, or throw an exception. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
