max.poll.interval.ms defines the maximum delay between invocations of poll() before the consumer is considered failed. It essentially gives consumers more time to process records before needing to poll again.

From Kafka Consumer Configuration Reference:

“max.poll.interval.ms: The maximum delay between invocations of poll() when using consumer group management. If poll() is not called before expiration, the consumer is considered failed.”

session.timeout.ms and heartbeat.interval.ms relate to group coordination and heartbeats.

fetch.max.wait.ms affects how long the broker waits to accumulate data before sending a fetch response.

When using Kafka Connect with sink connectors (like S3 Sink), each task is assigned one or more topic partitions. The total number of partitions (6) is evenly distributed across the available tasks (2). Thus, each task will handle 3 partitions.

From Kafka Connect Documentation:

“Kafka Connect divides the topic partitions among available tasks. For example, a topic with six partitions and two tasks results in each task handling three partitions.”

The onCompletion() method of Kafka’s Callback interface is executed once the broker acknowledges the message. This includes success or failure, and it is invoked asynchronously by the producer.

From Kafka Java Client API Documentation:

“The onCompletion method will be called when the record sent to the server has been acknowledged, or when an error occurs.”

This ensures that the record was sent and acknowledged, not just added to a batch or local buffer.
