#### `max_retry`

This option controls the retries before notification of failure is displayed
per message when no acknowledgement is received from the broker. When this
option is greater than `0` it can reduce message latency and duplicate
messages in the case of transient errors, but may also increase the load on
the broker during periods of downtime.
This option controls the number of retries before a failure notification is
displayed for each message when no acknowledgement is received from the
broker. When the setting is greater than `0`, message latency can be reduced,
duplicate messages can occur in cases of transient errors, and broker loads
can increase during downtime.

The option is similar to the
[retries](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#producerconfigs) Producer
option in the Java Kafka Producer.
