Introduce the ability for producers to publish a non-batched message if there is only one message in the batch.
It is useful to save the SingleMessageMetadata space in entry and reduce workload of consumers to deserialize the SingleMessageMetadata, especially when sometimes there is an amount of batched messages with only one real message.
N/A
For BatchMessageContainerImpl :
public OpSendMsg createOpSendMsg() throws IOException {
if (!producer.conf.isBatchingSingleMessage() && messages.size() == 1) {
// If only one message, create OpSendMsg as non-batched publish.
}
// ....
}
For BatchMessageKeyBasedContainer, there is no need to change, because it uses BatchMessageContainerImpl to create OpSendMsg
Always return BatchMessageIdImpl when enableBatching is set as true, even if publish single message with a non-batched message.
Rejection reason: Consumer have to deserialize to check if there is SingleMessageMetadata from the payload
Add a configuration for the producer to enable or disable this feature Rejection reason: It is always a good idea to not create a batch message. So there is no reason to turn off this feature
