1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ consumer lag continuously so a slow processor never falls hopelessly behind the topic.'
We 'monitor lag' — the standard collocation for ongoing observation of a metric. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'A slow downstream call inside the consumer loop can ___ lag to climb rapidly under load.'
We say a slow call will 'cause' lag to climb — the standard collocation for the resulting effect. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the consumer group so more partitions can be processed in parallel and lag drains faster.'
We 'scale a consumer group' — the standard, established collocation for adding more processing capacity. The other options aren't the recognised term here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ an alert once lag crosses a threshold so a stuck consumer gets attention before data goes stale.'
We 'fire an alert' — the standard, established collocation for triggering a notification. The other options aren't the recognised term here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ offsets carefully during a rebalance so lag doesn't spike from unnecessary reprocessing.'
We 'commit offsets' — the standard, established Kafka collocation for recording processed position. The other options aren't the recognised term here.
