Re: What exactly happens if fetch size is smaller than the next batch (0.72 and high-level consumer)

[Neha Narkhede]

Yes, it is the maxSize parameter in FetchRequest. And the consumer won't
stall unless a single message (compressed or not) is larger than the fetch
size, in this case 300KB. It doesn't matter how big a batch is.

Thanks,
