CCDAK Exam Dumps : Confluent Certified Developer for Apache Kafka Certification Examination

Kafka Connectsource connectorsuse theoffset.storage.topicconfiguration parameter to define where to storeoffsets that track the connector's positionin the source system (e.g., database, file, etc.).

FromKafka Connect Worker Configuration:

“offset.storage.topic specifies the topic in Kafka where the connector stores offsets for each source partition.”

This allows Kafka Connect toresumefrom the correct position on restart.

The other options (B–D) are not valid Kafka configs.

The default maximum message size that a Kafka broker accepts is1MB (1,048,576 bytes), controlled by the config propertymessage.max.bytes.

FromKafka Broker Configuration Docs:

“The default maximum message size is 1MB. To accept larger messages, configure message.max.bytes and the producer’s max.request.size.”

Producers also have a matching limit via max.request.size, and consumers via fetch.message.max.bytes.

These three metrics are critical for cluster health:

OfflinePartitionsCount: Indicates partitions without active leaders — a sign of broker failure.

ActiveControllerCount: There should beexactly one active controller. A count ≠ 1 signals controller failure.

UncleanLeaderElectionsPerSec: Tracks leader elections where out-of-sync replicas were selected — risky for data loss.

FromKafka Monitoring Documentation:

“Offline partitions and unclean leader elections should trigger alerts. Also, ensure a single active controller is running.”

A is about topics pending deletion — not critical.

E is a per-topic record metric, not broker-level.
