Hi Kafka community, I like to surface a KIP idea, which is to separate publish request from the subscribe request using different ports.
The context: We have some workload with over 5000 subscribers, the latency on publish latency can be as high as 3000 ms second. After investigation, we found the reason is mainly because there are too many connections on socketserver and the multiplexing slows down the publish latency. The proposal is somewhat similar to KIP-291: Separating controller connections and requests from the data plane I like to check with experts here whether this is a viable idea to continue pursuing or not? Thanks! Ming
