Erik Pettersson commented on KAFKA-3007: ---------------------------------------- Has any work been done to this issue? > Implement max.poll.records for new consumer (KIP-41) > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-3007 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3007 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: consumer > Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0 > Reporter: aarti gupta > Assignee: Jason Gustafson > > Currently, the consumer.poll(timeout) > returns all messages that have not been acked since the last fetch > The only way to process a single message, is to throw away all but the first > message in the list > This would mean we are required to fetch all messages into memory, and this > coupled with the client being not thread-safe, (i.e. we cannot use a > different thread to ack messages, makes it hard to consume messages when the > order of message arrival is important, and a large number of messages are > pending to be consumed) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
