Kafka - Performance Tuning

Given the following Kafka producer config snippet:

{
  "batch.size": 16384,
  "compression.type": "snappy"
}

What is the expected effect on message sending?

AMessages are sent in batches up to 16 KB and compressed with Snappy

BMessages are sent one by one without compression

CMessages are compressed with gzip and batch size is ignored

DBatch size is 16 bytes and compression is disabled

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Interpret batch.size value
The batch size is set to 16384 bytes, which means messages will be grouped up to 16 KB before sending.
Step 2: Interpret compression.type value
The compression type is set to "snappy", so messages will be compressed using Snappy algorithm.
Final Answer:
Messages are sent in batches up to 16 KB and compressed with Snappy -> Option A
Quick Check:
batch.size=16384 + compression.type=snappy [OK]

Quick Trick: Check batch size bytes and compression.type value carefully [OK]
