| default_topic_conf | * | Default topic configuration for automatically subscribed topics Type: pointer |
||
| internal.termination.signal | * | 0 .. 128 | 0 | Signal that librdkafka will use to quickly terminate on rd_kafka_destroy(). If this signal is not set then there will be a delay before rd_kafka_wait_destroyed() returns true as internal threads are timing out their system calls. If this signal is set however the delay will be minimal. The application should mask this signal as an internal signal handler is installed. Type: integer |
| api.version.request | * | true, false | true | Request broker's supported API versions to adjust functionality to available protocol features. If set to false, or the ApiVersionRequest fails, the fallback version broker.version.fallback will be used. NOTE: Depends on broker version >=0.10.0. If the request is not supported by (an older) broker the broker.version.fallback fallback is used. Type: boolean |
| api.version.request.timeout.ms | * | 1 .. 300000 | 10000 | Timeout for broker API version requests. Type: integer |
| api.version.fallback.ms | * | 0 .. 604800000 | 1200000 | Dictates how long the broker.version.fallback fallback is used in the case the ApiVersionRequest fails. NOTE: The ApiVersionRequest is only issued when a new connection to the broker is made (such as after an upgrade). Type: integer |
| broker.version.fallback | * | 0.9.0 | Older broker versions (<0.10.0) provides no way for a client to query for supported protocol features (ApiVersionRequest, see api.version.request) making it impossible for the client to know what features it may use. As a workaround a user may set this property to the expected broker version and the client will automatically adjust its feature set accordingly if the ApiVersionRequest fails (or is disabled). The fallback broker version will be used for api.version.fallback.ms. Valid values are: 0.9.0, 0.8.2, 0.8.1, 0.8.0. Any other value, such as 0.10.2.1, enables ApiVersionRequests. Type: string |

||
| fetch.max.bytes | C | 0 .. 2147483135 | 52428800 | Maximum amount of data the broker shall return for a Fetch request. Messages are fetched in batches by the consumer and if the first message batch in the first non-empty partition of the Fetch request is larger than this value, then the message batch will still be returned to ensure the consumer can make progress. The maximum message batch size accepted by the broker is defined via message.max.bytes (broker config) or max.message.bytes (broker topic config). fetch.max.bytes is automatically adjusted upwards to be at least message.max.bytes (consumer config). Type: integer |
| fetch.min.bytes | C | 1 .. 100000000 | 1 | Minimum number of bytes the broker responds with. If fetch.wait.max.ms expires the accumulated data will be sent to the client regardless of this setting. Type: integer |

| queue.buffering.max.ms | P | 0 .. 900000 | 0 | Delay in milliseconds to wait for messages in the producer queue to accumulate before constructing message batches (MessageSets) to transmit to brokers. A higher value allows larger and more effective (less overhead, improved compression) batches of messages to accumulate at the expense of increased message delivery latency. Type: integer |
| linger.ms | P | Alias for queue.buffering.max.ms |

If the number of not yet transmitted requests equals or exceeds this number, produce request creation that would have otherwise been triggered (for example, in accordance with linger.ms) will be delayed. A lower number yields larger and more effective batches. A higher value can improve latency when using compression on slow machines. Type: integer |

| message.timeout.ms | P | 0 .. 900000 | 300000 | Local message timeout. This value is only enforced locally and limits the time a produced message waits for successful delivery. A time of 0 is infinite. This is the maximum time librdkafka may use to deliver a message (including retries). Delivery error occurs when either the retry count or the message timeout are exceeded. Type: integer |
| queuing.strategy | P | fifo, lifo | fifo | Producer queuing strategy. FIFO preserves produce ordering, while LIFO prioritizes new messages. WARNING: lifo is experimental and subject to change or removal. Type: enum value |
| produce.offset.report | P | true, false | false | Report offset of produced message back to application. The application must be use the dr_msg_cb to retrieve the offset from rd_kafka_message_t.offset. Type: boolean |

| compression.type | P | Alias for compression.codec |
||
| compression.level | P | -1 .. 12 | -1 | Compression level parameter for algorithm selected by configuration property compression.codec. Higher values will result in better compression at the cost of more CPU usage. Usable range is algorithm-dependent: [0-9] for gzip; [0-12] for lz4; only 0 for snappy; -1 = codec-dependent default compression level. Type: integer |
| auto.commit.enable | C | true, false | true | If true, periodically commit offset of the last message handed to the application. This committed offset will be used when the process restarts to pick up where it left off. If false, the application will have to call rd_kafka_offset_store() to store an offset (optional). NOTE: This property should only be used with the simple legacy consumer, when using the high-level KafkaConsumer the global enable.auto.commit property must be used instead. NOTE: There is currently no zookeeper integration, offsets will be written to broker or local file according to offset.store.method. Type: boolean |
| enable.auto.commit | C | Alias for auto.commit.enable |
||
| auto.commit.interval.ms | C | 10 .. 86400000 | 60000 | The frequency in milliseconds that the consumer offsets are committed (written) to offset storage. This setting is used by the low-level legacy consumer. Type: integer |

Type: enum value |
| offset.store.path | C | . | Path to local file for storing offsets. If the path is a directory a filename will be automatically generated in that directory based on the topic and partition. Type: string |
