             Summary: KafkaChannel commits consume offset to Zookeeper every time causing performance problem
                 Key: FLUME-3086
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-3086
             Project: Flume
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Kafka Channel
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0
            Reporter: JiYeon OH


Currently, the AUTO_COMMIT_ENABLED setting is hard corded to false(KafkaChannel.java line 285), and the commit is done every transaction(KafkaChannel.java line 567). This will cause large overhead to Kafka Zookeeper when consuming very large amount of data because every consumer in every node will be writing to Zookeeper. 
I actually had this problem and affected other running consumers' offsets on the Zookeeper. So I suggest to change the hard coded setting AUTO_COMMIT_ENABLED to true, and set a default AUTO_COMMIT_INTERVAL value, and remove the commitOffsets() method.
