Hi Frank, You can configure the Load Shedding Strategy in the `broker.conf` file using `loadBalancerLoadSheddingStrategy`.
The configuration is missing from the document you referenced--it should be there, though. There was a recent PR to add documentation describing the different configuration options: [0]. Those docs won't go live until 2.10.0 is released. We could probably add parts of that documentation to the historical docs, since the Shedding Strategy has existed for some time. - Michael [0] https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/12902/files On Fri, Jan 7, 2022 at 1:29 PM Frank Kelly <fke...@cogitocorp.com> wrote: > > This is very cool. > > How is `ThresholdShedder` chosen - I don't see if referenced here? > https://pulsar.apache.org/docs/en/reference-configuration/ > > -F > > On Thu, Jan 6, 2022 at 7:45 PM Sijie Guo <guosi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > +1 ThresholdShedder is a much better policy > > > > On Tue, Jan 4, 2022 at 6:24 AM Hang Chen <chenh...@apache.org> wrote: > > > > > https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/13340 > > > > > > Pasted below for quoting convenience. > > > > > > ---- > > > ### Motivation > > > The ThresholdShedder load balance policy since Pulsar 2.6.0 by > > > https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/6772.
