Vahid Hashemian created KAFKA-9731: -------------------------------------- Summary: Increased fetch request rate with leader selector due to HW propagation Key: KAFKA-9731 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9731 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Affects Versions: 2.4.1, 2.4.0 Reporter: Vahid Hashemian Attachments: image-2020-03-17-10-19-08-987.png
KIP-392 adds high watermark propagation to followers as a means to better sync up followers HW with leader. The issue we have noticed after trying out 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 is a spike in fetch request rate in the default selector case (leader), that does not really require this high watermark propagation: !image-2020-03-17-10-19-08-987.png|width=811,height=354! This spike causes an increase in resource allocation (CPU) on the brokers. An easy solution would be to disable this propagation (at least) for the default leader selector case to improve the backward compatibility. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
