The quota page is here: http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#design_quotas
"By default, each unique client-id receives a fixed quota in bytes/sec as configured by the cluster (quota.producer.default, quota.consumer.default)" I also noticed there's been a change in the replication configuration while reading: http://www.confluent.io/blog/hands-free-kafka-replication-a-lesson-in-operational-simplicity/ It may not break anything, but it may impact how you decide to configure and monitor replication "Now there is only one value you need to configure on the server which is replica.lag.time.max.ms. The interpretation of this has changed to be the time for which a replica has been out-of-sync with the leader. Stuck or failed replicas are detected the same way as before - if a replica fails to send a fetch request for longer than replica.lag.time.max.ms, it is considered dead and is removed from the ISR. The mechanism of detecting slow replicas has changed - if a replica starts lagging behind the leader for longer than replica.lag.time.max.ms, then it is considered too slow and is removed from the ISR. So even if there is a spike in traffic and large batches of messages are written on the leader, unless the replica consistently remains behind the leader for replica.lag.time.max.ms, it will not shuffle in and out of the ISR." -----Original Message----- From: Rajiv Kurian [mailto:ra...@signalfx.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2015 11:57 To: users@kafka.apache.org Subject: Re: Any gotchas upgrading to 0.9? Also I remember reading (can't find now) something about default traffic quotas. I'd hope the default quotas are very large (infinite?) and not small so that compatibility is maintained. It would be very unfortunate if some of our traffic was throttled because of the upgrade because of magic defaults. For example we have a certain cluster dedicated to serving a single important topic and we'd hate for it to be throttled because of incorrect defaults.
