Please keep the discussion on the mailing list rather than commenting on the wiki (wiki discussions get unwieldy fast).

Motivation

The console producer takes the batch-size option but doesn't batch the messages by count. It should be removed/deprecated as it's not applicable for the new producer.

Public Interfaces

batch-size option will be deprecated from the kafka-console-producer script.

Proposed Changes

Ask the user to configure the max-partition-memory-bytes to batch the messages in the console producer.
