> There appears to be a small performance regression in 0.10.1.0 from previous
> versions. I tracked it back to KAFKA-3888. As part of KIP-62, we decreased
> the value of {{max.poll.records}} from {{Integer.MAX_VALUE}} to 500. Based on
> some performance testing, this results in about a 5% decrease in throughput.
> This depends on the fetch and message sizes. My test used message size of 1K
> with the default fetch size, and the default {{max.poll.records}} of 500.
> The main cause of the regression seems to be an unneeded list copy in
> {{Fetcher}}. Basically when we have more records than we need to satisfy
> {{max.poll.records}}, then we copy the fetched records into a new list. When
> I modified the code to use a sub-list, which does not need a copy, the
> performance is much closer to that of 0.10.0 (within 1% or so with lots of
> qualification since there are many unexplored parameters). The remaining
> performance gap could be explained by sub-optimal pipelining as a result of
> KAFKA-4007 (this is likely part of the story anyway based on some rough
> testing).
