<tr>
<td>bootstrap.servers</td></td><td>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&mdash;this list only impacts the initial hosts used to discover the full set of servers. This list should be in the form <code>host1:port1,host2:port2,...</code>. 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).</td></td><td>list</td></td><td>""</td></td><td>org.apache.kafka.common.config.ConfigDef$NonNullValidator@7cd62f43</td></td><td>high</td></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>fetch.min.bytes</td></td><td>The minimum amount of data the server should return for a fetch request. If insufficient data is available the request will wait for that much data to accumulate before answering the request. The default setting of 1 byte means that fetch requests are answered as soon as a single byte of data is available or the fetch request times out waiting for data to arrive. Setting this to something greater than 1 will cause the server to wait for larger amounts of data to accumulate which can improve server throughput a bit at the cost of some additional latency.</td></td><td>int</td></td><td>1</td></td><td>[0,...]</td></td><td>high</td></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>group.id</td></td><td>A unique string that identifies the consumer group this consumer belongs to. This property is required if the consumer uses either the group management functionality by using <code>subscribe(topic)</code> or the Kafka-based offset management strategy.</td></td><td>string</td></td><td>""</td></td><td></td></td><td>high</td></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>heartbeat.interval.ms</td></td><td>The expected time between heartbeats to the consumer coordinator when using Kafka's group management facilities. Heartbeats are used to ensure that the consumer's session stays active and to facilitate rebalancing when new consumers join or leave the group. The value must be set lower than <code>session.timeout.ms</code>, but typically should be set no higher than 1/3 of that value. It can be adjusted even lower to control the expected time for normal rebalances.</td></td><td>int</td></td><td>3000</td></td><td></td></td><td>high</td></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>max.partition.fetch.bytes</td></td><td>The maximum amount of data per-partition the server will return. Records are fetched in batches by the consumer. If the first record batch in the first non-empty partition of the fetch is larger than this limit, the batch will still be returned to ensure that the consumer can make progress. The maximum record batch size accepted by the broker is defined via <code>message.max.bytes</code> (broker config) or <code>max.message.bytes</code> (topic config). See fetch.max.bytes for limiting the consumer request size.</td></td><td>int</td></td><td>1048576</td></td><td>[0,...]</td></td><td>high</td></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>session.timeout.ms</td></td><td>The timeout used to detect consumer failures when using Kafka's group management facility. The consumer sends periodic heartbeats to indicate its liveness to the broker. If no heartbeats are received by the broker before the expiration of this session timeout, then the broker will remove this consumer from the group and initiate a rebalance. Note that the value must be in the allowable range as configured in the broker configuration by <code>group.min.session.timeout.ms</code> and <code>group.max.session.timeout.ms</code>.</td></td><td>int</td></td><td>10000</td></td><td></td></td><td>high</td></td></tr>

<tr>
<td>ssl.truststore.location</td></td><td>The location of the trust store file. </td></td><td>string</td></td><td>null</td></td><td></td></td><td>high</td></td></tr>

<tr>
<td>auto.offset.reset</td></td><td>What to do when there is no initial offset in Kafka or if the current offset does not exist any more on the server (e.g. because that data has been deleted): <ul><li>earliest: automatically reset the offset to the earliest offset<li>latest: automatically reset the offset to the latest offset</li><li>none: throw exception to the consumer if no previous offset is found for the consumer's group</li><li>anything else: throw exception to the consumer.</li></ul></td></td><td>string</td></td><td>latest</td></td><td>[latest, earliest, none]</td></td><td>medium</td></td></tr>

<tr>
<td>exclude.internal.topics</td></td><td>Whether records from internal topics (such as offsets) should be exposed to the consumer. If set to <code>true</code> the only way to receive records from an internal topic is subscribing to it.</td></td><td>boolean</td></td><td>true</td></td><td></td></td><td>medium</td></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>fetch.max.bytes</td></td><td>The maximum amount of data the server should return for a fetch request. Records are fetched in batches by the consumer, and if the first record batch in the first non-empty partition of the fetch is larger than this value, the record batch will still be returned to ensure that the consumer can make progress. As such, this is not a absolute maximum. The maximum record batch size accepted by the broker is defined via <code>message.max.bytes</code> (broker config) or <code>max.message.bytes</code> (topic config). Note that the consumer performs multiple fetches in parallel.</td></td><td>int</td></td><td>52428800</td></td><td>[0,...]</td></td><td>medium</td></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>isolation.level</td></td><td><p>Controls how to read messages written transactionally. If set to <code>read_committed</code>, consumer.poll() will only return transactional messages which have been committed. If set to <code>read_uncommitted</code> (the default), consumer.poll() will return all messages, even transactional messages which have been aborted. Non-transactional messages will be returned unconditionally in either mode.</p> <p>Messages will always be returned in offset order. Hence, in  <code>read_committed</code> mode, consumer.poll() will only return messages up to the last stable offset (LSO), which is the one less than the offset of the first open transaction. In particular any messages appearing after messages belonging to ongoing transactions will be withheld until the relevant transaction has been completed. As a result, <code>read_committed</code> consumers will not be able to read up to the high watermark when there are in flight transactions.</p><p> Further, when in <code>read_committed</mode> the seekToEnd method will return the LSO</td></td><td>string</td></td><td>read_uncommitted</td></td><td>[read_committed, read_uncommitted]</td></td><td>medium</td></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>max.poll.interval.ms</td></td><td>The maximum delay between invocations of poll() when using consumer group management. This places an upper bound on the amount of time that the consumer can be idle before fetching more records. If poll() is not called before expiration of this timeout, then the consumer is considered failed and the group will rebalance in order to reassign the partitions to another member. </td></td><td>int</td></td><td>300000</td></td><td>[1,...]</td></td><td>medium</td></td></tr>
