Appendix G. Kafka Streams configuration parameters application.id Type: string Importance: high 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. bootstrap.servers Type: list Importance: high 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). replication.factor Type: int Default: 1 Importance: high The replication factor for change log topics and repartition topics created by the stream processing application. If your broker cluster is on version 2.4 or newer, you can set -1 to use the broker default replication factor. state.dir Type: string Default: /tmp/kafka-streams Importance: high Directory location for state store. This path must be unique for each streams instance sharing the same underlying filesystem. acceptable.recovery.lag Type: long Default: 10000 Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: medium The maximum acceptable lag (number of offsets to catch up) for a client to be considered caught-up for an active task.Should correspond to a recovery time of well under a minute for a given workload. Must be at least 0. cache.max.bytes.buffering Type: long Default: 10485760 Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: medium Maximum number of memory bytes to be used for buffering across all threads. client.id Type: string Default: "" Importance: medium An ID prefix string used for the client IDs of internal consumer, producer and restore-consumer, with pattern '<client.id>-StreamThread-<threadSequenceNumber>-<consumer|producer|restore-consumer>'. default.deserialization.exception.handler Type: class Default: org.apache.kafka.streams.errors.LogAndFailExceptionHandler Importance: medium Exception handling class that implements the org.apache.kafka.streams.errors.DeserializationExceptionHandler interface. default.key.serde Type: class Default: org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.SerdesUSDByteArraySerde Importance: medium Default serializer / deserializer class for key that implements the org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serde interface. Note when windowed serde class is used, one needs to set the inner serde class that implements the org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serde interface via 'default.windowed.key.serde.inner' or 'default.windowed.value.serde.inner' as well. default.production.exception.handler Type: class Default: org.apache.kafka.streams.errors.DefaultProductionExceptionHandler Importance: medium Exception handling class that implements the org.apache.kafka.streams.errors.ProductionExceptionHandler interface. default.timestamp.extractor Type: class Default: org.apache.kafka.streams.processor.FailOnInvalidTimestamp Importance: medium Default timestamp extractor class that implements the org.apache.kafka.streams.processor.TimestampExtractor interface. default.value.serde Type: class Default: org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.SerdesUSDByteArraySerde Importance: medium Default serializer / deserializer class for value that implements the org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serde interface. Note when windowed serde class is used, one needs to set the inner serde class that implements the org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serde interface via 'default.windowed.key.serde.inner' or 'default.windowed.value.serde.inner' as well. default.windowed.key.serde.inner Type: class Default: null Importance: medium Default serializer / deserializer for the inner class of a windowed key.

Must implement the org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serde interface. max.task.idle.ms Type: long Default: 0 Importance: medium Maximum amount of time in milliseconds a stream task will stay idle when not all of its partition buffers contain records, to avoid potential out-of-order record processing across multiple input streams. max.warmup.replicas Type: int Default: 2 Valid Values: [1,... ] Importance: medium The maximum number of warmup replicas (extra standbys beyond the configured num.standbys) that can be assigned at once for the purpose of keeping the task available on one instance while it is warming up on another instance it has been reassigned to. Used to throttle how much extra broker traffic and cluster state can be used for high availability. Must be at least 1. num.standby.replicas Type: int Default: 0 Importance: medium The number of standby replicas for each task. num.stream.threads Type: int Default: 1 Importance: medium The number of threads to execute stream processing. processing.guarantee Type: string Default: at_least_once Valid Values: [at_least_once, exactly_once, exactly_once_beta] Importance: medium The processing guarantee that should be used. Possible values are at_least_once (default), exactly_once (requires brokers version 0.11.0 or higher), and exactly_once_beta (requires brokers version 2.5 or higher). 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 . security.protocol Type: string Default: PLAINTEXT Importance: medium Protocol used to communicate with brokers. Valid values are: PLAINTEXT, SSL, SASL_PLAINTEXT, SASL_SSL. task.timeout.ms Type: long Default: 300000 (5 minutes) Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: medium The maximum amount of time in milliseconds a task might stall due to internal errors and retries until an error is raised. For a timeout of 0ms, a task would raise an error for the first internal error. For any timeout larger than 0ms, a task will retry at least once before an error is raised. topology.optimization Type: string Default: none Valid Values: [none, all] Importance: medium A configuration telling Kafka Streams if it should optimize the topology, disabled by default. application.server Type: string Default: "" Importance: low A host:port pair pointing to a user-defined endpoint that can be used for state store discovery and interactive queries on this KafkaStreams instance. buffered.records.per.partition Type: int Default: 1000 Importance: low Maximum number of records to buffer per partition. built.in.metrics.version Type: string Default: latest Valid Values: [0.10.0-2.4, latest] Importance: low Version of the built-in metrics to use. commit.interval.ms Type: long Default: 30000 (30 seconds) Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: low The frequency in milliseconds with which to save the position of the processor. (Note, if processing.guarantee is set to exactly_once , the default value is 100 , otherwise the default value is 30000 . connections.max.idle.ms Type: long Default: 540000 (9 minutes) Importance: low Close idle connections after the number of milliseconds specified by this config. metadata.max.age.ms Type: long Default: 300000 (5 minutes) Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: low The period of time in milliseconds after which we force a refresh of metadata even if we haven't seen any partition leadership changes to proactively discover any new brokers or partitions. metric.reporters Type: list Default: "" Importance: low A list of classes to use as metrics reporters. Implementing the org.apache.kafka.common.metrics.MetricsReporter interface allows plugging in classes that will be notified of new metric creation.

Probing rebalances will continue to be triggered until the assignment is balanced. Must be at least 1 minute. receive.buffer.bytes Type: int Default: 32768 (32 kibibytes) Valid Values: [-1,... ] Importance: low The size of the TCP receive buffer (SO_RCVBUF) to use when reading data. If the value is -1, the OS default will be used. reconnect.backoff.max.ms Type: long Default: 1000 (1 second) Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: low The maximum amount of time in milliseconds to wait when reconnecting to a broker that has repeatedly failed to connect. If provided, the backoff per host will increase exponentially for each consecutive connection failure, up to this maximum. After calculating the backoff increase, 20% random jitter is added to avoid connection storms. reconnect.backoff.ms Type: long Default: 50 Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: low The base amount of time to wait before attempting to reconnect to a given host. This avoids repeatedly connecting to a host in a tight loop. This backoff applies to all connection attempts by the client to a broker. request.timeout.ms Type: int Default: 40000 (40 seconds) Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: low The configuration controls the maximum amount of time the client will wait for the response of a request. If the response is not received before the timeout elapses the client will resend the request if necessary or fail the request if retries are exhausted. retries Type: int Default: 0 Valid Values: [0,... ,2147483647] Importance: low Setting a value greater than zero will cause the client to resend any request that fails with a potentially transient error. It is recommended to set the value to either zero or MAX_VALUE and use corresponding timeout parameters to control how long a client should retry a request. retry.backoff.ms Type: long Default: 100 Valid Values: [0,... ] Importance: low The amount of time to wait before attempting to retry a failed request to a given topic partition. This avoids repeatedly sending requests in a tight loop under some failure scenarios. rocksdb.config.setter Type: class Default: null Importance: low A Rocks DB config setter class or class name that implements the org.apache.kafka.streams.state.RocksDBConfigSetter interface. send.buffer.bytes Type: int Default: 131072 (128 kibibytes) Valid Values: [-1,... ] Importance: low The size of the TCP send buffer (SO_SNDBUF) to use when sending data.
