Hi, We are using the batch producer of 0.8.2.1 and we are getting very bad latencies for the topics. We have ~40K partitions now in a 20-node cluster.
- We have many topics and each with messages published to them varying. Ex: some topics take 10k/sec and other 2000/minute. - We are seeing latencies of 99th percentile 2sec and 95th percentile of 1sec. - The current parameters that are tunable are batch size, buffer size and linger. We monitor the metrics for the new producer and tuned the above accordingly. Still, we are not able to get any improvements. Batch size in a sense didn't matter after increasing from 64KB (we increased it till 1MB). - We also noticed that the record queue time is high (2-3sec). Documentation describes that this is the time records wait in the accumulator to be sent. Later looking at the code in the trunk, I see that the batch size set is same for all the TopicPartitions and each have their own RecordBatch. Also, flush() method is added in the latest code. We want to have an upper bound on the latencies for every message push irrespective of the incoming rate. Can we achieve it by following logic: - Wait until X-Kb of batch size / Topic Partition is reached (or) - Wait for Y-ms If either of them is reached, flush the producer records. Can this be part of the producer code itself? This will avoid the case of records getting accumulated for 2-3 sec. Please correct me if the analysis is wrong and suggest me on how do we improve latencies of the new producer. Thanks. -- Regards Vamsi Subhash -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
