Tarush Grover commented on FLINK-9178: -------------------------------------- [~tzulitai] Actually I had checked this `max.partition.fetch.bytes`, there might be two ways that we can add rate control one way is by specifying number of bytes and other is by mentioning number of events eg. `x events per fetch`. We have the configuration `max.partition.fetch.bytes` which give the maximum amount of data per-partition the server. Now we have to decide whether we want to implement second way or we can go with first one. > Add rate control for kafka source > --------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-9178 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9178 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Kafka Connector > Reporter: buptljy > Assignee: Tarush Grover > Priority: Major > > When I want to run the flink program from the earliest offset in Kafka, it'll > be very easy to cause OOM if there are too much data, because of too many > HeapMemorySegment in NetworkBufferPool. > Maybe we should have some settings to control the rate of the receiving data? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
