Cluster Configuration Properties

Capacity (in number of txns) of an abort index segment.

Each partition tracks the aborted transaction offset ranges to help service client requests. If the number transactions increase beyond this threshold, they are flushed to disk to easy memory pressure. Then they’re loaded on demand. This configuration controls the maximum number of aborted transactions before they are flushed to disk.

Requires restart: No

Visibility: tunable

Type: integer

Accepted values: [-17592186044416, 17592186044415]

Default: 5000 (5s)

Size of direct write operations to disk in bytes.

A smaller chunk size can decrease write latency, but potentially increase the number of disk I/O operations.

Requires restart: No

Optional: Yes

Visibility: tunable

Type: integer

The minimum value of the throughput quota a shard can get in the process of quota balancing, expressed in bytes per second. The value applies equally to ingress and egress traffic.

kafka_quota_balancer_min_shard_throughput_bps doesn’t override the limit settings, kafka_throughput_limit_node_in_bps and kafka_throughput_limit_node_out_bps. Consequently, the value of kafka_throughput_limit_node_in_bps or kafka_throughput_limit_node_out_bps can result in lesser throughput than kafka_quota_balancer_min_shard_throughput_bps.

Both kafka_quota_balancer_min_shard_throughput_ratio and kafka_quota_balancer_min_shard_throughput_bps can be specified at the same time. In this case, the balancer will not decrease the effective shard quota below the largest bytes-per-second (bps) value of each of these two properties.

If set to 0, no minimum is enforced.

The minimum value of the throughput quota a shard can get in the process of quota balancing, expressed as a ratio of default shard quota. While the value applies equally to ingress and egress traffic, the default shard quota can be different for ingress and egress and therefore result in different minimum throughput bytes-per-second (bps) values.

Both kafka_quota_balancer_min_shard_throughput_ratio and kafka_quota_balancer_min_shard_throughput_bps can be specified at the same time. In this case, the balancer will not decrease the effective shard quota below the largest bps value of each of these two properties.

If set to 0.0, the minimum is disabled. If set to 1.0, the balancer won’t be able to rebalance quota without violating this ratio, preventing the balancer from adjusting shards' quotas.

List of throughput control groups that define exclusions from node-wide throughput limits. Clients excluded from node-wide throughput limits are still potentially subject to client-specific throughput limits.

Each throughput control group consists of:

Example values:

A connection is assigned the first matching group and is then excluded from throughput control. A name is not required, but can help you categorize the exclusions. Specifying +empty for the client_id will match on clients that opt not to send a client_id. You can also optionally omit the client_id and specify only a name, as shown. In this situation, all clients will match the rule and Redpanda will exclude them from all from node-wide throughput control.

Minimum allowable replication factor for topics in this cluster. The set value must be positive, odd, and equal to or less than the number of available brokers. Changing this parameter only restricts newly-created topics. Redpanda returns an INVALID_REPLICATION_FACTOR error on any attempt to create a topic with a replication factor less than this property.

If you change the minimum_topic_replications setting, the replication factor of existing topics remains unchanged. However, Redpanda will log a warning on start-up with a list of any topics that have fewer replicas than this minimum.

Raft uses a heartbeat mechanism to maintain leadership authority and to trigger leader elections. The raft_heartbeat_interval_ms is a periodic heartbeat sent by the partition leader to all followers to assert its leadership. If a follower does not receive a heartbeat within the raft_heartbeat_timeout_ms, then it triggers an election to choose a new partition leader.

Raft learner recovery rate limit. Throttles the rate of data communicated to nodes (learners) that need to catch up to leaders.

This rate limit is placed on a node sending data to a recovering node. Each sending node is limited to this rate. The recovering node accepts data as fast as possible according to the combined limits of all healthy nodes in the cluster. For example, if two nodes are sending data to the recovering node, and raft_learner_recovery_rate is 100 MB/sec, then the recovering node will recover at a rate of 200 MB/sec.

Visibility: tunable

Type: boolean

Default: false

The maximum number of seconds that a record’s timestamp can be ahead of a Redpanda broker’s clock and still be used when deciding whether to clean up the record for data retention. This property makes possible the timely cleanup of records from clients with clocks that are drastically unsynchronized relative to Redpanda.

When determining whether to clean up a record with timestamp more than storage_ignore_timestamps_in_future_sec seconds ahead of the broker, Redpanda ignores the record’s timestamp and instead uses a valid timestamp of another record in the same segment, or (if another record’s valid timestamp is unavailable) the timestamp of when the segment file was last modified (mtime).

By default, storage_ignore_timestamps_in_future_sec is disabled (null).
