+### Handling Large Kafka Messages
+
+When ingesting large metadata records, such as those from Snowflake, you may encounter `org.apache.kafka.common.errors.RecordTooLargeException`. This error occurs when the message size exceeds the configured limits in Kafka.
+
+#### Explanation of the Error
+
+The `RecordTooLargeException` indicates that the message being sent to Kafka is larger than the configured maximum message size. This is common when dealing with large metadata records.
+
+#### Step-by-Step Resolution Guide
+
+1. **Increase Kafka Configuration Limits**:
+   - Update the `max.request.size` for the Kafka producer by setting the `SPRING_KAFKA_PRODUCER_PROPERTIES_MAX_REQUEST_SIZE` environment variable.
+   - Update the `max.partition.fetch.bytes` for the Kafka consumer by setting the `SPRING_KAFKA_CONSUMER_PROPERTIES_MAX_PARTITION_FETCH_BYTES` environment variable.
+
+2. **Update Kafka Topic Configuration**:
+   - Set the `max.message.bytes` configuration for Kafka topics to allow larger messages.
+
+3. **Helm Chart Configuration**:
+   - For Helm deployments, set these configurations in the `values.yaml` file:
+     ```yaml
+     kafka:
+       maxMessageBytes: "10485760" # 10MB
+       producer:
+         maxRequestSize: "10485760" # 10MB
+       consumer:
+         maxPartitionFetchBytes: "10485760" # 10MB
+     ```
+
+4. **Compression**:
+   - Enable compression for Kafka messages by setting the `KAFKA_PRODUCER_COMPRESSION_TYPE` to `snappy` or another supported type.
+
+5. **Check for Updates**:
+   - Ensure you are using the latest version of DataHub for potential improvements or fixes.
