Kafka - Performance Tuning

AIncrease batch.size to 64 KB and use compression.type 'lz4'.

BSet batch.size to 1 KB and compression.type 'none'.

CSet batch.size to 0 and compression.type 'gzip'.

DUse batch.size 16 KB and compression.type 'none'.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand batch.size impact
Larger batch.size (64 KB) allows more data per request, improving throughput but may increase latency slightly.
Step 2: Choose compression type
lz4 offers fast compression and decompression, good for throughput with moderate latency.
Final Answer:
Increase batch.size to 64 KB and use compression.type 'lz4'. -> Option A
Quick Check:
Large batch + fast compression = high throughput [OK]

Quick Trick: Big batch + fast compression = better throughput [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Using very small batch sizes
Choosing no compression for throughput
Using slow compression codecs for throughput
