[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-736) Add an option to the 0.8 producer to mimic 0.7 producer behavior

["Jay Kreps (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-736?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13569224#comment-13569224 ] 

Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-736:
---------------------------------

Reviewing the draft patch in case we end up going that route. It might be better to do the assignment to the queue inside request channel rather than in the socket server read method. key.hashCode % numQueues should be a fine way to go. I think the selector keys have no hashCode implementation so this effectively uses the object memory address which should be plenty fast.

> I profiled a producer throughput benchmark between a producer and a remote broker. It turns out that the background send threads spends ~97% of its time waiting to read the acknowledgement from the broker.
> I propose we change the current behavior of request.required.acks=0 to mean no acknowledgement from the broker. This will mimic the 0.7 producer behavior and will enable tuning the producer for very high throughput.
