Max.block.ms and Buffer.memory

The video tutorial explains the concept of buffer memory in Kafka, focusing on how producers and brokers interact. It discusses the conditions under which exceptions occur, particularly when producers generate data faster than brokers can process. The tutorial covers buffer memory management, including the default size and how it fills up. It also explains the blocking behavior of the send method and how to handle exceptions related to high throughput. Finally, it provides insights into real-world applications and configurations for managing Kafka effectively.
