The message format in 0.10.0 includes a new timestamp field and uses relative offsets for compressed messages.
58
59
The on disk message format can be configured through log.message.format.version in the server.properties file.
59
60
The default on-disk message format is 0.10.0. If a consumer client is on a version before 0.10.0.0, it only understands
60
61
message formats before 0.10.0. In this case, the broker is able to convert messages from the 0.10.0 format to an earlier format
61
62
before sending the response to the consumer on an older version. However, the broker can't use zero-copy transfer in this case.
62
63
63
-
To avoid such message conversion before consumers are upgraded to 0.10.0.0, one can set the message format to
64
-
e.g. 0.9.0 when upgrading the broker to 0.10.0.0. This way, the broker can still use zero-copy transfer to send the
65
-
data to the old consumers. Once most consumers are upgraded, one can change the message format to 0.10.0 on the broker.
64
+
Reports from the Kafka community on the performance impact have shown CPU utilization going from 20% before to 100% after an upgrade, which forced an immediate upgrade of all clients to bring performance back to normal.
65
+
66
+
To avoid such message conversion before consumers are upgraded to 0.10.0.0, one can set log.message.format.version to 0.8.2 or 0.9.0 when upgrading the broker to 0.10.0.0. This way, the broker can still use zero-copy transfer to send the data to the old consumers. Once consumers are upgraded, one can change the message format to 0.10.0 on the broker and enjoy the new message format that includes new timestamp and improved compression.
67
+
68
+
The conversion is supported to ensure compatibility and can be useful to support a few apps that have not updated to newer clients yet, but is impractical to support all consumer traffic on even an overprovisioned cluster. Therefore it is critical to avoid the message conversion as much as possible when brokers have been upgraded but the majority of clients have not.
