Do you mean getOffsetLag ? (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Operations)
But its all about offset not message... So for example to create "real" load balance between broker I can: 1. Calculate average unread message in topic per broker: - Sall=sum(kafka.BrokerAllTopicStat.[topic]. getMessagesIn) -total send messages in topic for all broker - Rall=sum (kafka.ConsumerTopicStat.[topic]. getMessagesPerTopic - -total read messages in topic for all consumers - (Sall-Rall)/broker number - average unread messages in topic per broker 2. Get current number of unread messages in topic for broker (little hack here) for example if we locate N consumers per broker and each consumer must read only from 1 partition than we can : - Sb=kafka.BrokerAllTopicStat.[topic]. getMessagesIn) -total send messages in topic for broker B - Rb=sum for all N consumers in broker b (kafka.ConsumerTopicStat.[topic]. getMessagesPerTopic) - total unread messages in topic for N consumers on broker b - (Sb-Rb) -unread messages in topic for broker 3. Use partitioner to load balance between brokers ... - compare average unread messages in topic per broker with current unread messages in topic for broker we can create more clever load balancer... But what can you tell about performance?... How fast I can get monitoring stat? Could you give me some advice for optimization?
