Hello everyone, We have seen this exception couple of times - "org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Batch Expired".
It doesn't happen all the time but mostly during hiccups in network. There is an open jira KAFKA-3686 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3686>. I’m planning to try with higher values for request.timeout.ms (up to 15000 or so) in few days. *Question:* Did anyone face this issue? If so, were you able to tweak the producer to minimize it? Suggestions are welcome. *Other details:* We use Kafka 0.9.0.1, async producer. Producer properties: batch.size=921600 linger.ms=0 request.timeout.ms=5000 acks=1 retries=5 compression.type=none and mostly default values for other producer properties. *Thanks,* *Sharath* -- Best Regards, Sharath
