Hi,

Thanks for all the replies. It helped me understand the system. I appreciate 
it. 

I tried change the producer properties to async and also changed 
queue.enqueueTimeout.ms=-1. But I still get the exception. I then changed the 
producer queue size to 20K and 30K. My hope is by making the queue size bigger, 
it will buy the producer more time to digest the total amount of messages. But 
that didn't help in either 20K or 30K instances. I then increased max queue 
time to 5000ms in hopes that would hold some of the data. But in all these 
case, I still get the exception.

I looked the console producer code and it uses synchronous producer class. In 
this case, does it make any difference if I change the producer's properties 
(e.g., to async)?  I guess if the answer is no, it would explain what saw the 
above. 

Also is there any definition or explanation on the Java API? As I read the doc 
page on the site, there is none...

Thanks
Jamie

This will happen if you push data to the producer at a higher rate
than it is able to send to the server.
queue.size allows you to configure the size of the producer queue
(defaults to 10K). Also,
queue.enqueueTimeout.ms, if set to -1 will lead to blocking behaviour
instead of the producer throwing
QueueFullExceptions.

Thanks,
Neha
