Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-998:
-------------------------------
Jason,
This patch just won't retry sending the data when hitting a
MessageTooLargeException. It doesn't really address you main concern, which is
the caller doesn't know the real cause of the failure. Addressing this issue
completely will need some more thoughts in the producer logic and the changes
required may be non-trivial. So, I am not sure if we should do this in 0.8.
> Producer should not retry on non-recoverable error codes

> Key: KAFKA-998
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-998
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.8, 0.8.1
> Reporter: Joel Koshy
> Assignee: Guozhang Wang
> Attachments: KAFKA-998.v1.patch
>
>
> Based on a discussion with Guozhang. The producer currently retries on all
> error codes (including messagesizetoolarge which is pointless to retry on).
> This can slow down the producer unnecessarily.
> If at all we want to retry on that error code we would need to retry with a
> smaller batch size, but that's a separate discussion.
