What’s the downside to lowering this parameter? It will slow down the performance of the happy path since it disables prefetching requests from the feed-master.
Can you elaborate this statement
I did not follow it
What Tim Stack was referring to here is the case where the pipeline is not bottlenecked by an external service or application. In that case, it’s preferable to set max inflight to a higher value in order to reduce the back and fourth between the pipeline and the FeedMaster. For example, if there are 10 documents to process and max inflight is set to 10 (or higher), the FeedMaster will push all 10 documents to the pipeline in one go. Whereas, if the max inflight was set to 1, then each document would need to be processed individually before another would be fetched requiring 10 individual requests.
