> Currently the queue.size in hadoop producer is 10MB. This means that the
> KafkaRecordWriter will hit the send button on kafka producer after the size
> of uncompressed queued messages becomes greater than 10MB. (The other
> condition on which the messages are sent is if their number exceeds
> SHORT.MAX_VALUE).
> Considering that the server accepts a (compressed) batch of messages of
> sizeupto 1 million bytes minus the log overhead, we should probably reduce
> the queue size in hadoop producer. We should do two things:
> 1. change max message size on the broker to 1 million + log overhead, because
> that will make the client message size easy to remember. Right now the
> maximum number of bytes that can be accepted from a client in a batch of
> messages is an awkward 999988. (I don't have a stronger reason). We have set
> fetch size on the consumer to 1MB, this gives us a lot of room even if the
> log overhead increased with further versions.
> 2. Set the default number of bytes on hadoop producer to 1 million bytes.
> Anyone who wants higher throughput can override this config using
> kafka.output.queue.size
