Some messages may require multiple retries. If there are more than 1 requests in flight, it may result in messages received out of order. Note an exception to this rule is if you enable the producer settingenable.idempotence=true which takes care of the out of ordering case on its own. Seehttps://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5494

Consumers can set auto.offset.reset property to earliest to start consuming from beginning. For KSQL, SET 'auto.offset.reset'='earliest';

Log compaction retains at least the last known value for each record key for a single topic partition. All compacted log offsets remain valid, even if record at offset has been compacted away as a consumer will get the next highest offset.

Each producer is allowed to produce @ 1MB/s to a broker. Max throughput 5 * 1MB, because we have 5 brokers.

Kafka Connect Sink is used to export data from Kafka to external databases and Kafka Connect Source is used to import from external databases into Kafka.

Replicas are spread across available brokers, and each replica = one broker. RF 3 = 3 brokers

Schema registry is a separate application that provides RESTful interface for storing and retrieving Avro schemas.

A kafka broker automatically creates a topic under the following circumstances- When a producer starts writing messages to the topic - When a consumer starts reading messages from the topic - When any client requests metadata for the topic

date is a logical type

Preferred leader is a broker that was leader when topic was created. It is preferred because when partitions are first created, the leaders are balanced between brokers. Otherwise, any of the in-sync replicas (ISR) will be elected leader, as long as unclean.leader.election=false (by default)
