Kafka - Performance Tuning

Given the following Kafka consumer configuration snippet:

props.put("max.poll.records", "1000");
props.put("fetch.min.bytes", "1048576");

What is the expected effect on consumer throughput and latency?

ALower throughput and lower latency

BHigher throughput and lower latency

CNo change in throughput or latency

DHigher throughput with potentially increased latency

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze max.poll.records setting
Setting it to 1000 means the consumer fetches up to 1000 records per poll, increasing batch size and throughput.
Step 2: Analyze fetch.min.bytes setting
Setting it to 1MB (1048576 bytes) means the consumer waits to fetch at least 1MB of data, which can increase latency waiting for enough data.
Final Answer:
Higher throughput with potentially increased latency -> Option D
Quick Check:
Large batch size = higher throughput, bigger fetch.min.bytes = higher latency [OK]

Quick Trick: Large batch size boosts throughput but may add latency [OK]
