Praveen Devarao commented on KAFKA-3044: ---------------------------------------- Hi [~guozhang] and [~jkreps] OK. Also, could we recommend a value for timeout [based on some assumed factors]? Thanks Praveen > Consumer.poll doesnot return messages when poll interval is less > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-3044 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3044 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: clients > Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0 > Reporter: Praveen Devarao > Assignee: Jason Gustafson > Fix For: 0.9.0.1 > > > When seeking to particular position in consumer and starting poll with > timeout param 0 the consumer does not come back with data though there is > data published via a producer already. If the timeout is increased slowly in > chunks of 100ms then at 700ms value the consumer returns back the record on > first call to poll. > Docs > [http://kafka.apache.org/090/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/KafkaConsumer.html#poll(long)] > for poll reads if timeout is 0 then data will be returned immediately but > the behaviour seen is that data is not returned. > The test code I am using can be found here > https://gist.github.com/praveend/013dcab01ebb8c7e2f2d > I have created a topic with data published as below and then running the test > program [ConsumerPollTest.java] > $ bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 > --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic mytopic > $ bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic mytopic > Hello > Hai > bye > $ java ConsumerPollTest > I have published this 3 lines of data to kafka only once....later on I just > use the above program with different poll interval > Let me know if I am missing anything and interpreting it wrongly. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
