Streams Configurations

This topic provides configuration parameters available for Confluent Platform. The Kafka Streams parameters are organized by order of importance, ranked from high to low.

• application.id

  An identifier for the stream processing application. Must be unique within the Kafka cluster. It is used as 1) the default client-id prefix, 2) the group-id for membership management, 3) the changelog topic prefix.

  Type:	string
  Default:
  Valid Values:
  Importance:	high

• bootstrap.servers

  A list of host/port pairs to use for establishing the initial connection to the Kafka cluster. The client will make use of all servers irrespective of which servers are specified here for bootstrapping—this list only impacts the initial hosts used to discover the full set of servers. This list should be in the form host1:port1,host2:port2,.... Since these servers are just used for the initial connection to discover the full cluster membership (which may change dynamically), this list need not contain the full set of servers (you may want more than one, though, in case a server is down).

• max.task.idle.ms

  This config controls whether joins and merges may produce out-of-order results. The config value is the maximum amount of time in milliseconds a stream task will stay idle when it is fully caught up on some (but not all) input partitions to wait for producers to send additional records and avoid potential out-of-order record processing across multiple input streams. The default (zero) does not wait for producers to send more records, but it does wait to fetch data that is already present on the brokers. This default means that for records that are already present on the brokers, Streams will process them in timestamp order. Set to -1 to disable idling entirely and process any locally available data, even though doing so may produce out-of-order processing.

  Default:	0
  Valid Values:
  Importance:	medium

Note that exactly-once processing requires a cluster of at least three brokers by default what is the recommended setting for production; for development you can change this, by adjusting broker setting transaction.state.log.replication.factor and transaction.state.log.min.isr.
