Yeah as Gwen says there is no sync/async mode anymore. There is a new configuration which does a lot of what async did in terms of allowing batching:
batch.size - This is the target amount of data per partition the server will attempt to batch together. linger.ms - This is the time the producer will wait for more data to be sent to better batch up writes. The default is 0 (send immediately). So if you set this to 50 ms the client will send immediately if it has already filled up its batch, otherwise it will wait to accumulate the number of bytes given by batch.size. To send asynchronously you do producer.send(record) whereas to block on a response you do producer.send(record).get(); which will wait for acknowledgement from the server. One advantage of this model is that the client will do it's best to batch under the covers even if linger.ms=0. It will do this by batching any data that arrives while another send is in progress into a single request--giving a kind of "group commit" effect. The hope is that this will be both simpler to understand (a single api that always works the same) and more powerful (you always get a response with error and offset information whether or not you choose to use it). -Jay On Mon, Feb 2, 2015 at 11:15 AM, Gwen Shapira <gshap...@cloudera.com> wrote: > If you want to emulate the old sync producer behavior, you need to set > the batch size to 1 (in producer config) and wait on the future you > get from Send (i.e. future.get) > > I can't think of good reasons to do so, though. > > Gwen > > > On Mon, Feb 2, 2015 at 11:08 AM, Otis Gospodnetic > <otis.gospodne...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Is the plan for New Producer to have ONLY async mode?
