             Summary: Dynamic default value for number of thread configuration
                 Key: KAFKA-7129
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7129
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
            Reporter: Damien Gasparina


There are properties in the broker to change the number of thread of a 
component (e.g. _num.replica.fetchers_ or _num.network.threads_). After 
discussing with [~astubbs], it seems that the default values are optimized for 
an 8 CPU machine and might not be optimized for larger machine (e.g. 48 cores). 

For those larger machine, an admin need to tune them to be able to use all 
resources of the host.

Having dynamic default value (e.g. _num.replica.fetchers = ceil(number of core 
/ 8), etc...) instead of static (e.g. _num.replica.fetchers =1) could be a more 
efficient strategy to have default values optimized for different kind of 
deployment.
