Kafka Producer Important Properties

pranav tiwari — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 17:46:27 +0000

Kafka guarantees ordering within a partition, but this isn’t always the case.

If you don’t fully understand Kafka producer properties or configure them incorrectly, you could face issues in production.

For example, if Batch 1 is sent asynchronously and Batch 2 is sent before Batch 1’s acknowledgment, Kafka may deliver Batch 2 first, breaking the order.

To prevent this, set max.in.flight.requests.per.connection to 1, ensuring Batch 2 isn't sent until Batch 1’s acknowledgment is received.

If you want to read more about such properties related to Kafka Producer head over to my blog: https://medium.com/@pranavt84/optimizing-kafka-producer-performance-key-configuration-properties-9212b3d7fa01

This will enhance your understanding of Kafka, boosting your confidence when deploying it in production or during interviews.

ReentrantReadWriteLock

Unlike traditional databases, Java provides a feature through the ReentrantReadWriteLock that allows you to acquire either a read lock or a write lock at a time.

If you're looking to build a highly performant concurrent application, using the ReentrantReadWriteLock can be a great choice.

You can learn more about how it works and how to use it in my blog post: Understanding ReentrantReadWriteLock in Java: A Controlled Approach to Thread Management

Once you understand its benefits, you'll be in a better position to choose ReentrantReadWriteLock over other alternatives like ReentrantLock and the synchronized keyword.

ReentrantLock in Java

Always use synchronized in Java? Let's explore the ReentrantLock class (a powerful alternative).
I've written a blog that explains things you need to know about ReentrantLock.

Once you understand what ReentrantLock is and why it is there, you'll realize why Java is a popular choice for backend programming, especially in highly concurrent applications.
