Kafka settings

Kafka settings affect the performance of the database cluster. When you create a Kafka database cluster, values for all settings are automatically set. The values are chosen to ensure high cluster performance and vary depending on the cluster configuration.

If the automatic values are not suitable for your tasks, set your own values when creating the cluster or change the settings in the created cluster.

For your information

We recommend that you change the settings only when necessary — incorrect values can degrade cluster performance.
