The max.request.size is just for requests, not message size, right?

Jutta 12 months ago

Wait, are you sure about that? I thought it would try again!

Definitely goes with option C. No retries for large messages.

I thought it would split them up, but I guess not!

KafkaProducer can't handle messages over the limit.

I feel like the right answer might be that it retries until the limit is reached, but I can't remember the specifics of the exception handling.

I think the KafkaProducer would throw a MessageSizeTooLarge exception if the message exceeds the limit, but I can't recall if it retries or not.

I remember that Kafka has a default message size limit, but I'm not sure if it's based on max.request.size or message.max.bytes.

I practiced a similar question where the producer had to handle large messages, and I think it was about dividing them based on message.max.bytes.

I'm fairly confident that the cluster autoscaler is the way to go here. It's designed for autoscaling Linux containers and should help minimize provisioning time.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'll need to think it through carefully.

Preventing internet access at school might work, but that doesn't really address the root problem. We need to educate students on responsible online behavior.

I think the correct answer is Value at Risk because it tells us the potential loss in a set timeframe with a certain confidence level.
