- #### bootstrap.servers

  A list of host/port pairs used to establish the initial connection to the Kafka cluster. Clients use this list to bootstrap and discover the full set of Kafka brokers. While the order of servers in the list does not matter, we recommend including more than one server to ensure resilience if any servers are down. This list does not need to contain the entire set of brokers, as Kafka clients automatically manage and update connections to the cluster efficiently.

- #### max.task.idle.ms

  This config controls whether joins and merges may produce out-of-order results. The config value is the maximum amount of time in milliseconds a stream task will stay idle when it is fully caught up on some (but not all) input partitions to wait for producers to send additional records and avoid potential out-of-order record processing across multiple input streams. The default (zero) does not wait for producers to send more records, but it does wait to fetch data that is already present on the brokers. This default means that for records that are already present on the brokers, Streams will process them in timestamp order. Set to -1 to disable idling entirely and process any locally available data, even though doing so may produce out-of-order processing.

  Type: | long

- #### max.warmup.replicas

  The maximum number of warmup replicas (extra standbys beyond the configured num.standbys) that can be assigned at once for the purpose of keeping the task available on one instance while it is warming up on another instance it has been reassigned to.

Furthermore, note that each warmup replica can only be promoted to an active task during a rebalance (normally during a so-called probing rebalance, which occur at a frequency specified by the `probing.rebalance.interval.ms` config). This means that the maximum rate at which active tasks can be migrated from one Kafka Streams Instance to another instance can be determined by (`max.warmup.replicas` / `probing.rebalance.interval.ms`).

  Valid Values: | [0,...]
  Importance: | low

- #### metadata.recovery.strategy

  Controls how the client recovers when none of the brokers known to it is available. If set to `none`, the client fails. If set to `rebootstrap`, the client repeats the bootstrap process using `bootstrap.servers`. Rebootstrapping is useful when a client communicates with brokers so infrequently that the set of brokers may change entirely before the client refreshes metadata. Metadata recovery is triggered when all last-known brokers appear unavailable simultaneously. Brokers appear unavailable when disconnected and no current retry attempt is in-progress. Consider increasing `reconnect.backoff.ms` and `reconnect.backoff.max.ms` and decreasing `socket.connection.setup.timeout.ms` and `socket.connection.setup.timeout.max.ms` for the client. Rebootstrap is also triggered if connection cannot be established to any of the brokers for `metadata.recovery.rebootstrap.trigger.ms` milliseconds or if server requests rebootstrap.

- #### metrics.recording.level

  The highest recording level for metrics. It has three levels for recording metrics - info, debug, and trace.
  INFO level records only essential metrics necessary for monitoring system performance and health. It collects vital data without gathering too much detail, making it suitable for production environments where minimal overhead is desired.
  DEBUG level records most metrics, providing more detailed information about the system's operation. It's useful for development and testing environments where you need deeper insights to debug and fine-tune the application.
  TRACE level records all possible metrics, capturing every detail about the system's performance and operation. It's best for controlled environments where in-depth analysis is required, though it can introduce significant overhead.
