Hi Nicu, committing after every message and thus retrieving them with a batch size of 1 will definitely make a huge difference in performance! I've rigged a quick (and totally non academic) test which came up with the following numbers:
Batching consumer - Consumed 1000490 records in 5 seconds Non Batching, commiting consumer - Consumed 1000000 records in 3023 seconds The first line was a consumer with default settings and auto.offset.commit, the second one retrieved messages one per poll and called commitSync after every message. I am not sure if you actually need this though, wouldn't your deduplication process be able to check the downstream system, whether that specific message was already processed and use that to identify duplicates? Or are you not sending the actual records downstream but just doing something like summing, counting, ... them? It's tough to be more specific without knowing more specifics, but maybe that helps a bit already?

However, in order to do that, it seems that at least this compensation mechanism needs to read from a topic and commit offsets every message, so that when failover happens, it would not interpret as duplicates the events from the latest commit until present. What are the performance implications of this, and what advice would you have for exactly-once behavior (at least with controllable error)? > Thank you, > Nicu Marasoiu > Geschäftsanschrift/Business address: METRO SYSTEMS GmbH, Metro-Straße 12, 40235 Düsseldorf, Germany > Aufsichtsrat/Supervisory Board: Heiko Hutmacher (Vorsitzender/ Chairman) > Geschäftsführung/Management Board: Dr. Dirk Toepfer (Vorsitzender/CEO), Wim van Herwijnen > Sitz Düsseldorf, Amtsgericht Düsseldorf, HRB 18232/Registered Office Düsseldorf, Commercial Register of the Düsseldorf Local Court, HRB 18232 > > Betreffend Mails von *@metrosystems.net > Die in dieser E-Mail enthaltenen Nachrichten und Anhänge sind ausschließlich für den bezeichneten Adressaten bestimmt.
