Kafka - Performance Tuning

You have this Kafka producer config:

props.put("batch.size", 32768);
props.put("linger.ms", 0);
props.put("acks", "0");

What is the main problem with this setup if you want high throughput and reliability?

Alinger.ms=0 disables batching, reducing throughput.

Backs=0 means no acknowledgment, risking message loss.

Cbatch.size is too large and causes errors.

DThe config syntax is invalid and will cause exceptions.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check acks setting impact
acks=0 means producer does not wait for any acknowledgment, risking message loss.
Step 2: Evaluate throughput vs reliability
While batch.size is large and linger.ms=0 disables waiting, the main reliability issue is acks=0.
Final Answer:
acks=0 means no acknowledgment, risking message loss. -> Option B
Quick Check:
acks=0 risks loss despite throughput [OK]

Quick Trick: acks=0 disables reliability, not good for safe throughput [OK]
