Kafka HDFS Sink Connector存在恒定偏移滞后如何配置实现零滞后

问题背景

我使用的Kafka HDFS Sink Connector存在恒定的偏移滞后问题，通过Kafka Lag Exporter采集到的kafka_consumergroup_group_lag指标存在异常。
需说明的是，该连接器对接的Topic每日仅接收一次消息，因此指标会出现尖峰。我期望偏移滞后能够降至0，但实际观测到偏移滞后稳定在约833的水平，请问应当如何调整连接器配置以实现零偏移滞后？

存在问题的连接器配置如下：

{
  "name": "my_connector",
  "config": {
    "connector.class": "io.confluent.connect.hdfs.HdfsSinkConnector",
    "tasks.max": "1",
    "retries": "2147483647",
    "topics": "my_kafka_topic",
    "format.class": "io.confluent.connect.hdfs.parquet.ParquetFormat",
    "partitioner.class": "io.confluent.connect.storage.partitioner.TimeBasedPartitioner",
    "partition.duration.ms": "86400000",
    "path.format": "'date_id'=YYYYMMdd",
    "timezone": "UTC",
    "locale": "en-US",
    "timestamp.extractor": "RecordField",
    "timestamp.field": "message_timestamp",
    "compression.type": "snappy",
    "key.converter": "org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter",
    "errors.log.enable": "true",
    "errors.log.include.messages": "true",
    "errors.retry.delay.max.ms": "60000",
    "hadoop.conf.dir": "/var/run/configmaps/{{ stage }}",
    "hdfs.url": "{{ hdfs_url }}",
    "logs.dir": "{{ logs_dir }}",
    "topics.dir": "my_hdfs_path",
    "hdfs.authentication.kerberos": "true",
    "hdfs.namenode.principal": "{{ hdfs_namenode_principal }}",
    "connect.hdfs.principal": "{{ connect_hdfs_principal }}",
    "connect.hdfs.keytab": "{{ connect_hdfs_keytab }}",
    "flush.size": "600000",
    "rotate.interval.ms": "1600000",
    "transforms": "insertTS,formatTS",
    "transforms.insertTS.type": "org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.InsertField$Value",
    "transforms.insertTS.timestamp.field": "message_timestamp",
    "transforms.formatTS.type": "org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.TimestampConverter$Value",
    "transforms.formatTS.format": "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ",
    "transforms.formatTS.field": "message_timestamp",
    "transforms.formatTS.target.type": "string"
  }
}

对于接收消息频率更高的Topic，使用完全相同配置的连接器可正常实现零（或接近零）偏移滞后。
该正常运行的连接器配置如下：

{
  "name": "my_other_connector",
  "config": {
    "connector.class": "io.confluent.connect.hdfs.HdfsSinkConnector",
    "tasks.max": "1",
    "retries": "2147483647",
    "topics": "my_other_topic",
    "format.class": "io.confluent.connect.hdfs.parquet.ParquetFormat",
    "partitioner.class": "io.confluent.connect.storage.partitioner.TimeBasedPartitioner",
    "partition.duration.ms": "86400000",
    "path.format": "'date_id'=YYYYMMdd",
    "timezone": "UTC",
    "locale": "en-US",
    "timestamp.extractor": "RecordField",
    "timestamp.field": "message_timestamp",
    "compression.type": "snappy",
    "key.converter": "org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter",
    "errors.log.enable": "true",
    "errors.log.include.messages": "true",
    "errors.retry.delay.max.ms": "60000",
    "hadoop.conf.dir": "/var/run/configmaps/{{ stage }}",
    "hdfs.url": "{{ hdfs_url }}",
    "logs.dir": "{{ logs_dir }}",
    "topics.dir": "my_other_hdfs_location",
    "hdfs.authentication.kerberos": "true",
    "hdfs.namenode.principal": "{{ hdfs_namenode_principal }}",
    "connect.hdfs.principal": "{{ connect_hdfs_principal }}",
    "connect.hdfs.keytab": "{{ connect_hdfs_keytab }}",
    "flush.size": "600000",
    "rotate.interval.ms": "1600000",
    "transforms": "insertTS,formatTS",
    "transforms.insertTS.type": "org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.InsertField$Value",
    "transforms.insertTS.timestamp.field": "message_timestamp",
    "transforms.formatTS.type": "org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.TimestampConverter$Value",
    "transforms.formatTS.format": "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ",
    "transforms.formatTS.field": "message_timestamp",
    "transforms.formatTS.target.type": "string"
  }
}

根因分析

固定833偏移滞后的核心原因是HDFS Sink Connector的偏移提交和文件刷盘动作强绑定：只有当临时文件满足条件被关闭、正式提交到HDFS目标路径时，连接器才会向Kafka提交该文件对应的消息偏移。
当前配置触发文件刷盘提交的条件只有两个：

攒满flush.size=600000条消息
距离当前打开文件中最早一条消息的时间间隔达到rotate.interval.ms=1600000（约26.7分钟）

两个配置在日更低流量Topic下都无法触发：

每日批次消息量仅833条，永远达不到60万条的刷盘阈值
rotate.interval.ms的检查逻辑仅在收到新消息时触发，日批消息全部写入后没有新消息进入，该检查永远不会执行，临时文件会一直处于打开状态，对应偏移永远不会提交
高流量Topic因为消息持续流入，很快就能攒够60万条的刷盘阈值，因此可以正常提交偏移、实现零滞后。

解决方案

针对低流量日更Topic调整以下配置即可：

移除现有rotate.interval.ms配置，新增rotate.schedule.interval.ms配置，设置为3600000（1小时）。该配置基于墙钟时间定期触发文件滚动，不管有没有新消息流入，到点就会关闭提交当前打开的临时文件，触发偏移提交。
单独调低该连接器的flush.size值，设置为1000（略大于日常833条的日批大小），这样每次日批消息写入完成后，会立刻触发文件刷盘和偏移提交，无需等待定期滚动窗口。

调整后重启连接器，滞后会在日批消息写入完成后快速降至0。
