Jaikiran,
At the moment there is no client-side configuration parameter to restrict
the maximum request size on clients. On the broker side,
"socket.request.max.bytes" restricts the maximum buffer size allocated,
protecting the broker from badly behaved or misconfigured clients. A KIP
would be required to add a similar configuration parameter on the
client-side. It will definitely be useful for clients to catch this issue
and report a meaningful error, but I am not sure whether clients would
typically be able to recover from this scenario without restarting the JVM.
