Hi, I am using Kafka 0.7.2 I have a consumer that tries to fetch messages from several partitions on the same broker (and topic). The consumers issues a fetch request per partition, if there are messages to read, it fetches the first one and goes to the next partition to fetch another message and so on (in a loop). When there are not messages in a partition, the consumer will issue another fetch request on the next cycle etc. I noticed that starting with the 2nd fetch request, response time becomes unacceptable, i.e. reading back the response from the broker takes ~0.04 second (while it took ~0.0006 sec on the first time). This behavior is consistent over different runs.
Any idea? Thanks, Danny
