Kafka Client Tuning

Optimizing Kafka clients involves adjusting settings for producers and consumers to enhance performance and resource utilization. Below are some key tuning parameters and examples.

1. Producer Tuning

Optimize the producer settings to improve throughput and reduce latency:

Producer Configuration

# Enable acknowledgments from all in-sync replicas
acks=all

# Batch size in bytes
batch.size=16384

# Time to wait before sending messages
linger.ms=5

# Compression type
compression.type=gzip

2. Consumer Tuning

Adjust consumer settings for efficient and reliable message consumption:

Consumer Configuration

# Minimum bytes to fetch
fetch.min.bytes=50000

# Maximum time to wait for fetch
fetch.max.wait.ms=500

# Maximum number of records returned in a single poll
max.poll.records=100

# Session timeout in milliseconds
session.timeout.ms=10000
