Abort on Send Failure Stop the entire mirror maker when a send failure occurs. abort.on.send.failure true abort.on.send.failure false
Producer Batch Size This configuration controls the batch size in bytes. The producer will attempt to batch records together into fewer requests whenever multiple records are being sent to the same partition. This helps performance on both the client and the server. Only respected by Kafka 2.0 or later. batch.size 16 KiB batch.size false
Topic Blacklist Regular expression that represents a set of topics to avoid mirroring. Note that whitelist and blacklist parameters are mutually exclusive. If both are defined, only the whilelist is used. WARNING: Does not work with Kafka 2.0 or later. blacklist blacklist false

Destination Kafka Cluster's Client Auth Only required if destination Kafka cluster requires client authentication. destination.ssl.client.auth false destination.ssl.client.auth false
Consumer Minimum Fetch Size 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. 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. fetch.min.bytes 1 B fetch.min.bytes false
Consumer Group ID Name of the consumer group used by MirrorMaker. When multiple role instances are configured with the same topics and same group ID, the role instances load-balance replication for the topics. When multiple role instances are configured with the same topics but different group ID, each role instance replicates all the events for those topics - this can be used to replicate the source cluster into multiple destination clusters. group.id cloudera_mirrormaker group.id false
Producer Linger Time The upper bound on the delay for batching. Once the producer gets a batch.size worth of records for a partition it will be sent immediately regardless of this setting. However if fewer than this many bytes accumulated for this partition the producer will 'linger' for the specified time waiting for more records to show up.

Service Triggers The configured triggers for this service. This is a JSON-formatted list of triggers. These triggers are evaluated as part as the health system. Every trigger expression is parsed, and if the trigger condition is met, the list of actions provided in the trigger expression is executed. Each trigger has the following fields:
  • triggerName (mandatory) - The name of the trigger. This value must be unique for the specific service.
  • triggerExpression (mandatory) - A tsquery expression representing the trigger.
  • streamThreshold (optional) - The maximum number of streams that can satisfy a condition of a trigger before the condition fires. By default set to 0, and any stream returned causes the condition to fire.
  • enabled (optional) - By default set to 'true'. If set to 'false', the trigger is not evaluated.
  • expressionEditorConfig (optional) - Metadata for the trigger editor. If present, the trigger should only be edited from the Edit Trigger page; editing the trigger here can lead to inconsistencies.
For example, the followig JSON formatted trigger fires if there are more than 10 DataNodes with more than 500 file descriptors opened:[{"triggerName": "sample-trigger", "triggerExpression": "IF (SELECT fd_open WHERE roleType = DataNode and last(fd_open) > 500) DO health:bad", "streamThreshold": 10, "enabled": "true"}]See the trigger rules documentation for more details on how to write triggers using tsquery.The JSON format is evolving and may change and, as a result, backward compatibility is not guaranteed between releases.

Enable Log Compaction Enables the log cleaner to compact topics with cleanup.policy=compact on this cluster. log.cleaner.enable true log.cleaner.enable false
Log Cleaner Clean Ratio Controls how frequently the log cleaner will attempt to clean the log. This ratio bounds the maximum space wasted in the log by duplicates. For example, at 0.5 at most 50% of the log could be duplicates. A higher ratio will mean fewer, more efficient cleanings but will mean more wasted space in the log. log.cleaner.min.cleanable.ratio 0.5 log.cleaner.min.cleanable.ratio false

Log Flush Message Interval The number of messages written to a log partition before triggering an fsync on the log. Setting this lower syncs data to disk more often, but has a major impact on performance. Cloudera recommends use of replication for durability rather than depending on single-server fsync; however, this setting can be used to be extra certain. If used in conjunction with log.flush.interval.ms, the log is flushed when either criteria is met. log.flush.interval.messages log.flush.interval.messages false

Offset Commit Topic Replication Factor The replication factor for the offset commit topic. A higher setting is recommended in order to ensure higher availability (for example, 3 or 4) .
