Messages exceeding the size are silently dropped

[jacopofar]

Hello,
I noticed some messages not being published to Kafka although the logs report no error, and it seems that if a message exceeds the maximum size (max_request_size in the Producer, in my case corresponding to the value in the topic settings) it is discarded but no exception is raised.

Is this a known behavior?

A small update: calling flush() after send() I do get a warning:

WARNING kafka.producer.record_accumulator [Error 10] MessageSizeTooLargeError

it is a warning rather than an exception, but it's an improvement
