Hi Guozhang, Thanks that clarifies a lot. The segment size or segment ms is not the issue here then, changing these properties does not make the errors go away either 😊
Regarding the proposed solutions: 1) We use EOS, so the commit interval is defaulted to 100 ms in our case. We don't want to delay consumers that respect transactions in their consumption of the produced events so increasing this config is not a good option for us. We have tried temporarily increasing it to 30s and indeed partitions receiving records at a higher frequency (i.e. 1 per 5 seconds) stopped resulting in errors. Partitions receiving records at a lower (i.e. 1 per minute) frequency were still resulting in errors. 2) We have a small disparity in keys, so the data is already spread over a small (3 or 4) number of partitions. I don't think reducing the number of partitions to for example 4 will make a difference in this case? My attempt to summarize the issue here would be the following: If exactly once is enabled and records are produced on a partition less frequent than the commit interval, then the brokers/producers will produce an UNKNOWN_PRODUCER_ID error/warning on each produced record and the producers need to retry once for every produced record. This happens because commits trigger truncation of the producer ID map causing producers that did not produce any messages since last commit to have their ID removed. In our case we use a Kafka Streams application with exactly once enabled and a default commit.interval.ms of 100ms. We don't wish to increase this default to allow the consumers to be as real-time as possible. Even if we would scale down to 1 partition (which is undesirable) I don't think the producers would produce a record to this one partition between every offset commit. Basically we can't resolve this problem unless we would have a volume large enough to produce a record on each partition between every offset commit. Our only options seem to be to move from exactly once to at least once, or to wait for https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-360%3A+Improve+handling+of+unknown+producer. Best, Pieter -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Guozhang Wang <wangg...@gmail.com> Verzonden: Monday, 10 June 2019 22:19 Aan: users@kafka.apache.org Onderwerp: Re: Repeating UNKNOWN_PRODUCER_ID errors for Kafka streams applications Hi Pieter, My reasoning is that the most recent segment (called the `active` segment`) would not be deleted for immediately since it is still being appended. I.e. say you have two segments offset range at [0, 100), [100, 180). And if the delete records API is issued to delete any records older than 150, then the first segment would be deleted, but the second (and the active one) would not be deleted. Instead we would only set the log-starting-offset at 150. But when I double checked the code again, I realized that even if we do not delete the segment, we would still "truncate" the maintained producer ID map, and hence what you've seen is correct: although the data cleaner did not delete the segment file yet, corresponding producer ID would still be removed. So for now what I can think of to reduce this issue, are that you can either consider 1) increase your commit interval, and hence reduce the delete-records frequency, or 2) decrease your num.partitions so that the per-partition traffic from a single producer can be reasonably large.
