Hi Jason, Lowering "receive.buffer.bytes” helps, but when the message size gets bigger - it comes back again. I will test with 65536 and check how big the message has to be to make the issue reappear with this value (I suspect that quite big).

Can you tell me which os/jvm you're seeing it with? Also, can you try changing the "receive.buffer.bytes" consumer configuration to "65536"? This was the default for the old consumer and I haven't been able to reproduce the problem when it is set. -Jason
