- (A) metadata.fetch.timeout.ms - The maximum time producer will wait for metadata to be ready in producer.send()
- (B) linger.ms - The maximum time the producer will buffer the records for batch before sending it out.(C) replication.timeout.ms - This is a server side configuration. It defines how long a server will wait for the records to be replicated to followers.
- (C) network.request.timeout.ms - This timeout is used when producer sends request to brokers through TCP connections. It specifies how long the producer should wait for the response.
From what I can see, network.request.timeout.ms and linger.ms have clear purposes and we probably want to keep themit.
replication.timeout.ms is a legacy configuration, we might be able to get it away but let's keep it for now.
...
- (A/B) metadata.fetch.timeout.ms - reuse metadata timeout as batch.timeout.ms because it is essentially metadata not available. (B) linger. ms
- (C) replication.timeout.ms
- (C) network.request.timeout.ms
Proposal 2:
- (A) max.send.block.ms(B) linger.ms
- (B) batch.timeout.ms
- (C) replication.timeout.ms
- (C) network.request.timeout.ms
