Hi , I would like to have have some permissions to create a KIP and start a discussion.
I think I was able to create a JIRA but cant do anything more beyond that. I guess the process is to first create a KIP and get it discussed and voted. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5761 Can someone please let me know what is needed for me to be having the permission to create a discussion thread ? There are a couple of other points too that I want to put forward to the Kafka dev community : like the point I noticed about the max.in.flight.requests.per.connection property - max.in.flight.requests.per.connection The maximum number of unacknowledged requests the client will send on a single connection before blocking. Note that if this setting is set to be greater than 1 and there are failed sends, there is a risk of message re-ordering due to retries (i.e., if retries are enabled). I think this documentation is a bit confusing as it say this controls the # of unack'd requests client can send before being blocked. However , AFAI checked the code, it only checks for pending writes to the socketChannel before allowing next write, and this write might have been buffered in the socket's internal buffers ( based on SO_SNDBUF <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/StandardSocketOptions.html#SO_SNDBUF> value ) without any ack as yet. There is still a chance that this message might get lost ( network failure and session loss ) so its not correct to equate this state to saying the message has been acked. Regards Bhaskar
