> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-4405
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4405
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0.1
> Reporter: ysysberserk
> Assignee: Eno Thereska
>
> Now kafka consumer has added max.poll.records to limit the count of messages return by poll().
> According to KIP-41, to implement max.poll.records, the prefetch request should only be sent when the total number of retained records is less than max.poll.records.
> But in the code of 0.10.0.1 , the consumer will send a prefetch request if it retained any records and never check if total number of retained records is less than max.poll.records..
> If max.poll.records is set to a count much less than the count of message fetched , the poll() loop will send a lot of requests than expected and will have more and more records fetched and stored in memory before they can be consumed.
> So before sending a prefetch request , the consumer must check if total number of retained records is less than max.poll.records.
