Description

If MessageSetSizeTooLargeException or MessageSizeTooLargeException is thrown from Log, then ReplicaManager counts it as a failed produce request. My understanding is that this metric should only count failures as a result of broker issues and not bad requests sent by the clients.

If the message or message set is too large, then it is a client side error and should not be reported. (similar to NotLeaderForPartitionException, UnknownTopicOrPartitionException).
