Grant Henke created KAFKA-4203: ---------------------------------- Summary: Java producer default max message size does not align with broker default Key: KAFKA-4203 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4203 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.8.1 Reporter: Grant Henke Assignee: Grant Henke Priority: Critical
The Java producer sets max.request.size = 1048576 (the base 2 version of 1 MB (MiB)) The broker sets max.message.bytes = 1000012 (the base 10 value of 1 MB + 12 bytes for overhead) This means that by default the producer can try to produce messages larger than the broker will accept resulting in RecordTooLargeExceptions. There were not similar issues in the old producer because it sets max.message.size = 1000000 (the base 10 value of 1 MB) I propose we increase the broker default for max.message.bytes to 1048588 (the base 2 value of 1 MB (MiB) + 12 bytes for overhead) so that any message produced with default configs from either producer does not result in a RecordTooLargeException. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
