It does help with increasing the poll timeout to Long.MAX_VALUE. I got messages in every poll but just the time between each poll is long. That is how I discovered it was an network issue btw consumer and broker. I believe it will have the same effect as long as I set the poll timeout high enough,

Thanks for the updates Tao. Just wanted to make sure that there is no other potential issues when consumer and broker are remote, which is also quite common in practice: if you increase the timeout value in poll(timeout) to even larger values (say two times the average latency in your network) and

It turned out it was due to network latency btw consumer and broker. Once I moved the consumer to the same box of broker messages were returned in every poll. Thanks for all the helps. On Wed, 2 Dec 2015 at 15:38 Gerard Klijs wrote: > Another possible reason witch comes to me mind is that you

Another possible reason witch comes to me mind is that you have multiple consumer threads, but not the partitions/brokers to support them. When I'm running my tool on multiple threads I get a lot of time-outs. When I only use one consumer thread I get them only at the start and the end. On Wed, De

There is some initial overhead before data can be fetched. For example, the group has to be joined and topic metadata has to be fetched. Do you see unexpected empty fetches beyond the first 10 polls? Thanks, Jason On Tue, Dec 1, 2015 at 7:43 PM, tao xiao wrote: > Hi Jason, > > You are correct.

Hi Jason, You are correct. I initially produced 1 messages in Kafka before I started up my consumer with auto.offset.reset=earliest. But like I said the majority number of first 10 polls returned 0 message and the lag remained above 0 which means I still have enough messages to consume. BTW I

Hey Tao, other than high latency between the brokers and the consumer, I'm not sure what would cause this. Can you turn on debug logging and run again? I'm looking for any connection problems or metadata/fetch request errors. And I have to ask a dumb question, how do you know that more messages are

Thanks Tao, it worked. I also played around with my test setting trying to replicate your results, using default settings. But als long as the poll timeout is set to 100ms or larger the only time-out I get are near the start and near the end (when indeed there is nothing to consume). This is with a

Gerard, In your case I think you can set fetch.min.bytes=1 so that the server will answer the fetch request as soon as a single byte of data is available instead of accumulating enough messages. But in my case is I have plenty of messages in broker and I am sure the size of total message are much

I was experimenting with the timeout setting, but as long as messages are produced and the consumer(s) keep polling I saw little difference. I did see for example that when producing only 1 message a second, still it sometimes wait to get three messages. So I also would like to know if there is a f

Hi team, I am using the new consumer with broker version 0.9.0. I notice that poll(time) occasionally returns 0 message even though I have enough messages in broker. The rate of returning 0 message is quite high like 4 out of 5 polls return 0 message. It doesn't help by increasing the poll timeout
