Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Balance batch size and linger.ms for throughput and latency
A larger batch size with a small linger.ms (5ms) allows good batching without much delay, balancing throughput and latency.Step 2: Choose efficient compression
Snappy compression is fast and efficient, improving throughput without high CPU cost.Final Answer:
batch.size=65536, linger.ms=5, compression.type=snappy -> Option AQuick Check:
Large batch + low linger + fast compression = best throughput & latency [OK]
Quick Trick: Use large batch, low linger, fast compression for best throughput [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Using high linger.ms increases latency
- Choosing no compression reduces throughput
- Small batch sizes limit throughput
