Hi all!
I have questions regarding configuration for large messages. I understand that kafka has settings for broker and topic for message max sizes; message.max.bytes (broker config) and max.message.bytes (topic config).
I wonder if max.message.bytes for a topic can be larger that the server default message.max.bytes? The problem I am facing is that now and then there are messages that hit the 1MB wall even compressed. It is rare that the messages get larger, but also there is no theoretical max size for the messages.
I am not allowed to tamper with the general setting since it could have performance implications for all other users, but what could the performance implications be if the max.message.bytes is considerably higher on one topic?
Best Regards, Sakke F
