org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Batch Expired

Hello everyone,

We have seen this exception couple of times -
"org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Batch Expired".

It doesn't happen all the time but mostly during hiccups in network. There
is an open jira KAFKA-3686
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3686>.

I’m planning to try with higher values for request.timeout.ms (up to 15000
or so) in few days.


*Question:*

Did anyone face this issue? If so, were you able to tweak the producer to
minimize it?

Suggestions are welcome.


*Other details:*

We use Kafka 0.9.0.1, async producer.

Producer properties:

batch.size=921600

linger.ms=0

request.timeout.ms=5000

acks=1

retries=5

compression.type=none

and mostly default values for other producer properties.


*Thanks,*

*Sharath*
