Kafka Connect 5.5.0 - Unable to reset max.request.size

Question

In confluent-5.5.0 - I am unable to change the max.request.size , which always defaults to max.request.size = 1048576 in the ProducerConfig.

The following are the parameters I have already tried with noluck:

confluent-5.5.0/etc/kafka/producer.properties

  max.request.size=15728640
  producer.max.request.size=15728640

confluent-5.5.0/etc/kafka/server.properties

  message.max.bytes=15728640
  replica.fetch.max.bytes=15728640
  max.request.size=15728640
  fetch.message.max.bytes=15728640

/data/confluent-5.5.0/etc/kafka/consumer.properties

  max.partition.fetch.bytes=15728640

confluent-5.5.0/etc/kafka-rest/kafka-rest.properties

  max.request.size=15728640

NOTE : None of these values is getting updated in the connect.log

1. I have stop/started confluent-5.5.0 , even destroyed the previous images and restarted.

Am i missing something ?

The following i have also tried after the information from comment :

/data/confluent-5.5.0/etc/kafka/connect-standalone.properties

producer.override.max.request.size=15728640 consumer.override.max.partition.fetch.bytes=15728640

/data/confluent-5.5.0/etc/kafka/connect-distributed.properties

producer.override.max.request.size=15728640 consumer.override.max.partition.fetch.bytes=15728640

Still in the max.request.size has not got changed.

( Solved )Based on the inputs :

I have added the above configuration in the connect or configuration. And also changed the policy from none to ALL. Which applied the configuration changes properly.

Those files are not used by Connect.

• server is for the Apache Kafka Broker only
• consumer|producer are for the kafka-console utilities
• kafka-rest is for the Confluent REST Proxy only

You need to use connect-distributed.properties or connect-standalone.properties and notice that you need to additionally set the property correctly using prefixes.
