Matthias J. Sax commented on KAFKA-6399:
----------------------------------------
I think, 5 minutes is used for other default timeouts, too. So I think it makes
sense. Changing default configs requires a KIP, right?
> Consider reducing "max.poll.interval.ms" default for Kafka Streams

> Key: KAFKA-6399
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6399
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: streams
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Matthias J. Sax
> Assignee: John Roesler
> Priority: Minor
>
> In Kafka {{0.10.2.1}} we change the default value of
> {{max.poll.intervall.ms}} for Kafka Streams to {{Integer.MAX_VALUE}}. The
> reason was that long state restore phases during rebalance could yield
> "rebalance storms" as consumers drop out of a consumer group even if they are
> healthy as they didn't call {{poll()}} during state restore phase.
> In version {{0.11}} and {{1.0}} the state restore logic was improved a lot
> and thus, now Kafka Streams does call {{poll()}} even during restore phase.
> Therefore, we might consider setting a smaller timeout for
> {{max.poll.intervall.ms}} to detect bad behaving Kafka Streams applications
> (ie, targeting user code) that don't make progress any more during regular
> operations.
> The open question would be, what a good default might be. Maybe the actual
> consumer default of 30 seconds might be sufficient. During one {{poll()}}
> roundtrip, we would only call {{restoreConsumer.poll()}} once and restore a
> single batch of records. This should take way less time than 30 seconds.
