Grant Henke updated KAFKA-2589:
-------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> Documentation bug: the default value for the "rebalance.backoff.ms" property
> is not specified correctly
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-2589
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2589
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: config
> Affects Versions: 0.8.2.1
> Environment: any
> Reporter: Bogdan Dimitriu
> Assignee: Grant Henke
>
> The documentation for 0.8.2.1 consumer properties specifies:
> | rebalance.backoff.ms | 2000 | Backoff time between retries during rebalance
> |
> According to the source code though the default value is obtained this way:
> {code}
> val rebalanceBackoffMs = props.getInt("rebalance.backoff.ms", zkSyncTimeMs)
> {code}
> which is referenced from here:
> {code}
> val zkSyncTimeMs = props.getInt("zookeeper.sync.time.ms", 2000)
> {code}
> So by default it is 2000 as specified in the documentation, UNLESS the
> {{zookeeper.sync.time.ms}} is manually set to be different
> This may create confusion with recommendations such:
> {quote}
> In the case, make sure that rebalance.max.retries * rebalance.backoff.ms >
> zookeeper.session.timeout.ms
> {quote}
> from here:
