Producer extraProps are ignored ?

[kamek-pf]

I'm trying to set the request.required.acks property on a producer, my code looks like this:

let brokers = brokersList $ map BrokerAddress $ kafkaBrokers config
    extra = extraProps $ M.fromList [("request.required.acks", "0")]
    properties = brokers <> extra <> debugOptions [DebugAll]
 in newProducer properties

It seems to be set correctly, when I start my producer, I see this in the logs:

%7|1617942667.281|CONF|rdkafka#producer-2| [thrd:app]: Client configuration:
%7|1617942667.281|CONF|rdkafka#producer-2| [thrd:app]:   client.software.version = 1.6.0

                                                         ^^^^^^^^ there

As a test case, I created a topic with a replication factor lower than min.insync.replicas :

kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 10 --topic my.test.topic --config min.insync.replicas=2

Now with these settings, publishing to this topic with a producer acks set to 0 or 1 should work, but fail with acks set to -1 or all (according to the docs, and indeed this behavior is honored by kafka-console-producer.sh).

With my producer however, nothing is ever published successfully. The logs output lines such as this one:

REQERR|rdkafka#producer-2| ProduceRequest failed: Broker: Not enough in-sync replicas: explicit actions Retry,MsgNotPersisted

So either extraProps are (sometimes ?) not passed down to librdkafka correctly, or something is overriding this specific property somewhere else.

Any idea what might be happening here ?
