Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-1282: -------------------------------- Nicu, Similar to producers, consumers just issue fetch requests. The SocketServer first reads the fetch request from the network and then writes the fetch response to the network once the fetch request is served by the broker. So, there is a 1-to-1 mapping btw reads and writes and writes typically happen within a second after the reads. > Disconnect idle socket connection in Selector > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1282 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1282 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: producer > Affects Versions: 0.8.2 > Reporter: Jun Rao > Assignee: Neha Narkhede > Labels: newbie++ > Fix For: 0.9.0 > > Attachments: > KAFKA-1282_Disconnect_idle_socket_connection_in_Selector.patch, > kafka-1282__Disconnect_idle_socket_connection_in_Selector.patch > > > To reduce # socket connections, it would be useful for the new producer to > close socket connections that are idle.
