It is trying to send and already flushed/wrote on its end of the tcp connection. If you check netstat for the side of the connection (local port 55454) you should see data in receive buffers. Still don't know why consumer is not reading. I am also seeing similar weird behavior. with 64K receiver buffer reduces the intensity of the problem, but does not fix it. > Unexpected delay before fetch response transmission > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-3135 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3135 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0 > Reporter: Jason Gustafson > Assignee: Jason Gustafson > > From the user list, Krzysztof Ciesielski reports the following: > {quote} > Scenario description: > First, a producer writes 500000 elements into a topic > Then, a consumer starts to read, polling in a loop. > When "max.partition.fetch.bytes" is set to a relatively small value, each > "consumer.poll()" returns a batch of messages. > If this value is left as default, the output tends to look like this: > Poll returned 13793 elements > Poll returned 13793 elements > Poll returned 13793 elements > Poll returned 13793 elements > Poll returned 0 elements > Poll returned 0 elements > Poll returned 0 elements > Poll returned 0 elements > Poll returned 13793 elements > Poll returned 13793 elements > As we can see, there are weird "gaps" when poll returns 0 elements for some > time. What is the reason for that? Maybe there are some good practices > about setting "max.partition.fetch.bytes" which I don't follow? > {quote} > The gist to reproduce this problem is here: > https://gist.github.com/kciesielski/054bb4359a318aa17561. > After some initial investigation, the delay appears to be in the server's > networking layer. Basically I see a delay of 5 seconds from the time that > Selector.send() is invoked in SocketServer.Processor with the fetch response > to the time that the send is completed. Using netstat in the middle of the > delay shows the following output: > {code} > tcp4 0 0 10.191.0.30.55455 10.191.0.30.9092 ESTABLISHED > tcp4 0 102400 10.191.0.30.9092 10.191.0.30.55454 ESTABLISHED > {code} > From this, it looks like the data reaches the send buffer, but needs to be > flushed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
