I spoke briefly with @polynomial about this and there is definitely some trade-off to be made here. Before we change the defaults, we should probably do a lot more experimentation to take a simulated load and execute it against a Kafka cluster with/without the minimum required acks.
There's also some questions I have around the use/exposure of the min.insync.replicas
setting as it relates to Hermann.
I'm thinking we should make:
request.required.acks
= -1 (needs ack from all ISR's, best durability)message.send.max
= 3 (to made the tradeoff towards reliability, when the cost is possibility of dups)
