In http://incubator.apache.org/kafka/design.html, the documentation
claims that ``As events enter a queue, they are buffered in a blocking
queue, until either buffer.time or batch.size is reached.``

Is "buffer.time" a configurable option on the producer api  or is it
unimplemented? I can't find anything about it in
http://incubator.apache.org/kafka/configuration.html

Thanks,

Hi,

In http://incubator.apache.org/kafka/design.html, the documentation
says that ``As events enter a queue, they are buffered in a blocking
queue, until either buffer.time or batch.size is reached.``

Is "buffer.time" a configurable option on the producer client or is it
unimplemented?
I can't find anything about this in
http://incubator.apache.org/kafka/configuration.html

Thanks,

Hi Ming,

I'm relatively new to Kafka as well but here's my understanding of it.
If anyone thinks that this is incorrect please say so.

For producers there is a queue for async producers which you can turn a
couple of knobs to control when a batch of messages gets sent to the server:

|queue.time
| |queue.size||
|
If you're using a sync producer there's no queue because it's going to
send the message right away.
Cheers,
-Xavier

That sounds right, Xavier.

I fixed the design page as well. Thanks for pointing this out, Ming.
