Root Cause

A Kafka transactional producer exceeded `transaction.timeout.ms` before committing, causing the coordinator to abort the transaction.

中文

Kafka 事务性生产者在提交前超过了 `transaction.timeout.ms` 的限制，导致协调器中止了该事务。

Workarounds

  1. 85% success Increase `transaction.timeout.ms` in the producer config (e.g., `transaction.timeout.ms=120000`) to accommodate longer-running transactions, and ensure the commit logic completes within this window.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Setting `transaction.timeout.ms` to an extremely low value to speed up transactions 80% fail

    A very low timeout increases the risk of aborts under normal load, making the system unstable.

  2. Disabling idempotence to bypass transaction timeout checks 95% fail

    Transactions require idempotence; disabling it will cause configuration errors and break transactional guarantees.
